Unburdened youth

The bulk ship Amis Youth (not Aimless Youth), 650 feet in length and Liberia flagged, came down the North River Friday morning heading for sea. Youth was in ballast and drawing less than 30 feet after discharging a cargo at the Port of Coeymans. Bulk ship traffic on the river has been heavy this spring, in part due to high demand for salt to refill municipal stores up north. Most of the salt heading for Coeymans has been coming from Egypt this year, but Amis Youth came here from Chili, which is another supplier of the mineral.
