I've always been a boat nerd, even as a kid, but I never really understood how our port and port authority works. In the news are always the major ones on the ocean coasts, but what about what happens here?
Mark Schrupp of the Detroit Wayne County Port Authority breaks it all down - the history, the cargo, and its importance to our region.
Plus, we get into some exciting stuff, like the upcoming Tall Ships event hitting Detroit for the first time many years!
Mark gives us the details on these majestic sailing vessels coming to our waterfront and how you can see them up close.
So, if you're interested in Detroit's maritime industry or just love some cool ships, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
