Curious. How long do pulp logs hold together when the pulp and glue is exposed to water?A few years ago, a barge lost a load of pulpwood logs over the side in Lake Michigan.
In 2017 there were a number of large tree stumps floating in the Kingston waters. The stumps were left in the ground by landowners who wanted to improve their view. High water undercut the shoreline and eventually the stumps ended up floating. SCARY stuff to see from a boat! Likely even worse if your DID NOT see itApparently, floating objects don’t just show up in the ocean. There are things that occur in the great lakes that can create damage. Recently, the high water has caused shoreline erosion that has put trees, parts of beach access staircases, parts of cottages and other flotsam into the lakes.
A few years ago, a barge lost a load of pulpwood logs over the side in Lake Michigan. The bad news is you cannot see the individual floating logs. They tend to float vertically... Imagine one of those punching a hole in a hull.
And as we know she didn’t get them all and is unlikely to get many more from that position. There is a debris trap on the lower Fraser but you only have to look at any beach to see how well that works.She is on display in Anacortes WA
