Created on December 10, 2010 using FlipShare. John J. Boland departs with a load of coal from SMET. "The John J. Boland was built by Bay Shipbuilding Company in Sturgeon Bay and launched as the Charles E. Wilson in 1973. When American Steamship Company's boat called the John J. Boland was sold to Lower Lakes Towing in 2001 (becoming the Canadian flagged Saginaw), their boat called the Charles E. Wilson became the new John J. Boland. On most of her trips here, she brings limestone in and usually loads coal or iron ore pellets before departing for a lower lakes port." from Duluth Shipping News website.
