Here is an obituary for Robert's wife Ida Wilena Welland. Might help a little.

A photograph of Captain Welland can be found here, third from the left in the first row, along with the other Soo River masters in 1982, including Captain Metz, who submitted this photograph and could probably help you with your request: http://www.boatnerd.com/news/newsthumbs ... metz-1.jpg

Hi!, I am a distant relative of Capt. Bob Welland, While researching my family tree, I found him; after reading somes of the posts I realized somes of you have worked with him and knew him well. I wonder if those who knew him would share their stories with me good or bad; or tell me where I can find the posts. I know he pass away in 1984 and is buried in Cardinal, Ontario. Does anyone know where he died, I never found an obituary for him. Also I would so very much appreciate a photo of him. Thank you very kindly for your help.
