Walter J. McCarthy, Jr., Leaves the Sault

M/V Walter J. McCarthy of the American Steamships fleet heads toward Whitefish Point and beyond from the Sault locks in 1990, shortly after she was rechristened. For her first decade or so she was called Belle River, after the Detroit Edison plant she services. McCarthy was Detroit Edison's president; when he retired, the ship was renamed to honor him.
