Re: Historical Perspective in Photos
I love the picture of the Imperial Midland. I was on her in 1961-62 and 63 after she was converted to the Willowdale. Probably my favourite job in all my time sailing.

Binnacle off of the S/S Hochelaga
I have for sale a binnacle off of the S/S Hochelaga for sale. The highest bid over $2000.00 US takes it. It's very heavy so it must be picked up in Ontario. Will not be shipped. It's from Henry Brown and Sons Type89523

I believe the Starbelle used cables when she split her deck in 1959 or 1960.

Every captain remembers docks or situations they would like to do over!

Re: Baie st Paul
I would certainly vote for the name Lemoyne. There's a lot of history behind that name. She was the largest ship on the lakes for a good number of years.

Re: welland,then to soo from grand rapids
If your going through Ontario you should stop in Gravenhurst and see the RMS Segwun, the oldest coal fired ship in North America. Pretty cool!

Re: Trillium and Equinox class updates
The name Lemoyne certainly has the most history with CSL.

Re: Grays Reef
I wouldn't go through there any deeper than 25' and then I check down because of the squat. There are some shallow spots at the south end. Most loaded ships avoid this passage and only go through there light ship.
