September 1 Vessel Report
The major U.S.-Flag Lakes lines had 61 of their 69 vessels in service on September 1, a decrease of 5 ships compared to a
year ago. The decrease reflects the season-long lay-ups for the EDWARD L. RYERSON and JOHN J. BOLAND and the
August idlings of the ELTON HOYT 2ND and ROGER BLOUGH. Additionally, the H. LEE WHITE was in drydock on the
survey date undergoing her 5-year inspection.
