Update: Michipicoten docked safely at Fraser Shipyard in Superior
Update: After some repairs, the Michicotin ship was able to safely set sail down here in the twin ports yesterday. The ship is now at Fraser Shipyards in Superior.
Nearly two weekends ago, the Michipicotin came close to sinking after taking on water near isle royal in lake superior. Authorities reported a 13 foot crack in the bottom of the ore carrier. The ship owner has not commented about the plans for any future voyages as of yet.
You might remember our news coverage of the ship, the Michipicoten a few weeks ago. The freighter appears to be repaired and on the move again.
On Thursday afternoon the Michipicoten appeared on the Split Rock lighthouse live cam sailing out on Lake Superior.
This coming a few weeks after taking on water near Isle Royale. Initially it was reported that the ship hit an unidentified object under the water causing the boat did take on water and list 15 degrees. But after inspection, investigators determined the incident was most likely not a collision with anything, but rather a structural failure.
Either way, the Michipicoten appears to be repaired and on the water once again.
