I second that one Guest! Give me a break already as I have not seen her since 2005 in late May on the St. Clair River and I have yet to see or get photos of her on digital film. When I last saw her in 2005, it was before I started to take digital photos. Also remember the flag that LLT/GRN ships fly with the saying "Don't Give Up The Ship!" From what the saying says, Don't give up on the Sykes just yet as I am sure there are plans for her down the road and let's just hope and pray that CML has a good plan for her rather it be an update as far as her boilers go or perhaps a complete re-power from steam to perhaps diesels. Just give it time folks as you never know what can happen. For me I'm not about to give up on her just yet and I think if it can be done on her, she'd make a great candidate for a re-power to diesels. Remember too that many of us hated it when she was converted into a self-unloader but, I look at her today and don't think she looks bad at all with an unloading boom on her. So, don't give up on her yet!
