Great lake boats, a good video

Anyways the Leona B was a frequent sight hauling coal up the Milwaukee river to the W.E. Menomonee valley coal fired power plant, after it was off loaded by GL freighters around Jones island. I was frequently confused and misspelled Menomonee in that area compared to spelling in other areas I was used to. Probably already mentioned somewhere on here watched first hand from a wharf when that tug pushing a coal barge almost took out a drawbridge that didn't open. I believe to this day only thing that saved the bridge and or barge was the huge wooden bollards. Probably still bent somewhat over to this day lol.

The temporary shed on the build site of that barge seems to be complete.

What I believe is the Calumet, looks to be getting an extension. Or is it the Tecumseh?

Cut it in half and add some length?

That's sure what it looks like but the poster didn't say and I can't find any collaborating info.
