Winter Lay Up

This installment of "Behind The Door" chronicles one of the Great Lakes freighters sailing in to Sturgeon Bay for a three month respite at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding Co., locally referred to as the winter lay-up. Photographing them takes patience, careful planning, and a little bit of luck. But the results are often very rewarding even if chased away by shipyard security.
These unique lakers, sometimes over 1,000 feet in length, and many of them built in Sturgeon Bay, are stalwarts of the American industrial economy, an endless source of fascination among visitors and "boat nerds", and the pride of the people of Door County.
