Awesome photos. Love seeing these gigantic ships go by
Thanks! I try to get the drone out now and then. With all that's going on I figured I may as well try focusing on some Canadian ships this year, so hopefully this is the first of many!
Thanks for the comment! It's a fun hobby to have for sure. I've still only seen probably half of the regular ships so far, but hoping to crank up those numbers over the course of this season :)
The Soo Locks just opened up for the 2025 season on March 21 so we should be seeing freighters like this returning pretty regularly. Usually I'll take my drone off at Clergue Park, but this time I was at Bellevue to see the ship take the corner (following all drone regulations such as flying at least 100ft away from bystanders)
This ship in particular is a grain hauler owned by the G3 grain company, and operated by Algoma Central Corporation.
[8 pics] G3 Marquis ship - one of the first to come through in the 2025 shipping season. Shot on DJI Mavic 3 Classic. Sailed through March 24, 2025 on its way from Port Colborne, ON to Thunder Bay, ON
