Buffalo Saturday - Brian W.
American Mariner transiting the Outer Harbor as she comes around the Buffalo breakwall. An old "Milk Bottle" light is preserved on the Coast Guard Base grounds.	The stern section of the Mariner swings to Port as they line up for the Buffalo River.	Turning nice and easy on the swing around a lighted marker at Lighthouse Point, the Mariner kicks up some mud.	Now the Mariner is heading up the Buffalo River Entrance Channel with downtown in the background as she passes between the North & South Piers.	There's not much room in the City Ship Canal when the Mariner is passing by.
She is now in the reach of the canal beneath the Buffalo Skyway Bridge as ship lines up for General Mills.	As they come alongside the dock, the boom is being raised for the unloading hopper at the Frontier Elevator.	This shot shows the close clearance on the Skyway Bridge as she clears under the span.	The buoy boat 49413 at the Buffalo Coast Guard Base was sitting in the Marine Travel Lift near the slip.

Historical Perspectives - Buffalo Tankers -  Brian W.
Gemini being led off the dock at Mobil Oil on the upper Buffalo River by the tugs Iowa & Mississippi on a hot summer day in 1995. She was by far the biggest boat I ever saw that far up & it was pretty impressive to see her winding her way through the river.	View taken from the Mobil dock looking downstream at the tug-barge combination Stephen Reinauer-George Morris unloading gas on a absolutely calm, clear, & perfect night, 9-3-98.
