The Mesabi Miner and The Roger Blough just west of the Round - TopicsExpress



          

The Mesabi Miner and The Roger Blough just west of the Round Island Passage. The second pic you will see a sailboat headed west while The Roger Blough heads east. The third pic you see the close encounter between the Blough and the sailboat. The Blough gives the sailboat about 8 short blasts with her horn(5 short blasts means danger) They were telling the sailboat to get out of her way as an 858 freighter cannot turn on a dime. The sailboat did get out of the way...but it sure looks awful close. Photos courtesy of Ed McGreevy.
