Welcome to my first attempt at a web page! I have been interested in Great Lakes Shipping since I was four years old. I have lived in Manistee Michigan, on the shores of Lake Michigan for all of my life. I have been taking freighter pictures since I was 10. I am currently 14 years old, and a freshman at Manistee High School..

I am 14 years old, and a freshman at Manistee High School.in Manistee, Michigan. Manistee is on the east shore of Lake Michigan, about 60 miles south of Traverse City. I am going to go to the Great Lakes Maritime Academy, in Traverse City to become a mate for Oglebay Norton Company. I took a trip this summer on the Steamer ALPENA to Duluth, read more about it herehttp://www.duluthshippingnews.com/ship146.html - MY TRIP

Boatwatching and photography are my main hobbies, I sell my photos for $3.00 a piece, here is my list of shots:http://www.carferries.com/chrisf/chrispics.html - MY PICS

I run the Manistee vessel passage, check it out, to see what ships have been in Manistee lately.http://www.oakland.edu/boatnerd/passage/manste.htm
