7-27-09 Whatâ€™s Going on in Lake St. Clair?

Anyone have any idea what going on in the North Channel of Lake St. Clair? This is not a dredging barge and the caisson is not used for dredging!

Inquiring minds want to know

Could it be an escape hatch for the Dharma Initiative?

They got a tip where Jimmy Hoffa's body was dumped...

**Meddle** · July-28-09, 06:20 AM

My guess is some kind of navigational marker or beacon.

Tug Fischer Hayden is working on reconstructing light buoy 30. I donâ€™t know exactly what reconstruction work theyâ€™re doing, but theyâ€™ve been at it for a few weeks now.

Oh, & USACE tug Demolen is finally dredging the shoaling at X-32.

Looks like Apollo 18 to me.

Awfavre is correct, they are currently building Lake St. Clair Light #30 to replace Buoy #30, which is probably the buoy in the right corner. This new light is anchored to the bottom of the lake.

I sure would like to see what happens inside that caisson. Those things have always fascinated me for some reason. I wonder what kind of things they discover on the river bed when they go down there?

Do you 'really' want to know??????

**Meddle** · July-28-09, 04:59 PM

Well, people are still wondering where Jimmy Hoffa is.

**BillyBBrew** · July-28-09, 10:18 PM

Awfarve is more in the know than me these days. I have been retired from tugboating for over a year now.

Why, yes, in an archeological sense, I do.

I was at Sinbad's one day back in the 80's when someone's boat anchor pulled up a body. It was obvious it had been on the bottom for quite some time. That's something that I will remember for the rest of my life. Don't care to see anything like that ever again.

Speaking of Jimmy Hoffa, I heard something on WWJ this morning about a jawbone that was found in Oakland County somewhere, didn't hear that part. The reporter said something about maybe it is Jimmy Hoffa.
