An unseasonably warm winter day was the perfect time to check out the activity in St. Joseph, Michigan. While we were walking on the beach, a large vessel made its way past the lighthouses and onto Lake Michigan. As it entered the lake, it turned north and eventually disappeared over the horizon. We wondered where it was headed. Northern Michigan, Minnesota, perhaps somewhere along the St. Lawrence Seaway, or out onto the Atlantic Ocean for ports much farther away.
The passing vessel dwarfs the pier and lighthouses, and serves as a reminder to onlookers, of how shipping built the towns along Lake Michigan.

Tom, Is it possible to get a high resolution image of the Dangers of Shelp Ice illustration that was in your article in the Huffington Post? I would like to use it in Leland Township's Beach Safety information, winter edition.
