Greyfox Dock or Grand Truck Car Ferry Launch
The former Grand Truck Railroad Car Ferry Launch is now the home of the US Navy Sea Cadet Greyfox. Since the opening of the new tunnel, Grand Truck abandoned the launch and the former yard is now a dirt and gravel parking lot for the Seaport Terminal. Today the Greyfox and crew are at the Seaport Terminal giving tours of the ship as part of the "Be a Tourist in Your Own Town" event. The local authorities were driving in the area too as a training exercise for marine rescue.
Ferry Apron
This is the ramp, called an apron, that used to connect to the Grand Truck Railroad car ferries taking the railroad cars from the U.S. to Canada and back.
Lift
This structure has a matching unit on the other side. Together they would set the apron at the appropriate level to meet the car ferry.
Launch Turned to Dock
The once car ferry dock is now the dock for the Navy Sea Cadet Greyfox. Today it was out at the Seaport Terminal giving tours to the good people of Port Huron.
No Trespassing
Its a government property. Why would we think any differently?
Photographing the Divers
The Navy Sea Cadets were out on marine rescue training exercises along with the local authorities. Larry, being a diver himself, took an interest in the activities.
