Hi Beth. I’m not sure about a dog statue. You might learn more by checking out the Copper Dog 150 website (http://copperdog150.com/).

Hi
Did Calumet ever give away or sell a copper colored dog statue with the word Calumet on a plaque on it’s side? It is probably an advertising piece. I don’t know where it came from and I don’t think it was the baking company.
If you have any information on this type of thing would you let me know.

Very nice pictures! I hope that again in my life I can witness a Great Lakes freighter passing through the canal.
Another note which makes this event even better: Algosoo was the last ship ever built in classic Great Lakes freighter style with a forecastle; The pilot house at the bow. This sight was truly the passing of an era.

Thanks Jo Ann. I was quite happy with them considering it wasn’t a DSLR.

Great pictures, Mark, for not having the camera you wanted. You always manage to make the best of it and get good pics.

Awsome thanks guys. I grew up in the Copper Country but live in Arizona now and when this was sent to me I loved it and felt like I was at home.

It was too tall to go under the bridge and needed to fill the balasts with water to bring her down so she would fit under the bridge.

Thanks Dean. I was really happy I got a chance to get some pics of the freighter. Although the lighting wasn’t the best for fall colors I did manage to find some places to get it into the background.

Jeff,
Very interesting. It was obvious something wasn’t quite right. Thanks for filling in the missing details!
