Blazing Up the Cuyahoga River

By now most of you have seen that great time-lapse vid of Interlake Steamship Company's Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder making its way from the Port of Cleveland bulk terminal on Lake Erie up the curvy Cuyahoga River to ArcelorMittal in 24 seconds.

It was interesting to see how the video went viral and we'll be posting something next week on the confluence of Great Lakes shipping and social media. In the meantime, here's our #FreighterFriday nod with a different time-lapse of the Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder blazing up the Cuyahoga River!

And if you somehow missed the video shot by the Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder's captain, here it is! 

Cuyahoga River freighter time lapse

When you see freighters heading up the Cuyahoga River do you marvel at their ability to navigate through close quarters? We sure do, so we thought we'd give you a look at how these behemoths make the journey from Lake Erie to their industrial clients upriver.

You'll also see a wide perspective of the Scranton Flats Towpath as well as a segment of the newly dedicated Cleveland Foundation Centennial Trail.

BTW, technically Interlake Steamship Company's Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder is a tug/barge combo but at one time, the Pathfinder WAS a freighter!
