The 2nd Algocape. Unfortunately she left us many years ago now.

Was that just a typo or should I seek professional help?
Well, you don't need to seek professional help over this, anyway. The vessel in question had twin Parsons turbines its entire career. Out of curiosity, is the Richelieu listed, being a Sulzer-powered CSL vessel built in 1967?

I was just going through the 1987 KYS that a friend of mine had tucked away for quite a while. Nice find. On the CSL roster it notes that the Quetico was built in 61 with a steam turbine, and also shows a Whitefish Bay built in 67 as a diesel. As far as I remember they were the same ship. Was that just a typo or should I seek professional help?
