Mangal Desai

[Denny]

You are so correct on that historic footnote Richard and thanks for posting that one for us all to read and remember. I would have mentioned that one in my original report but, I had forgotten when that event took place. Again, thanks for putting that one in for us.

I saw on today's news page that the saltie Seneca, formerly the Stokmarnes/Millenium Eagle/Mangal Desai has arrived for scrapping in Gadani, Pakistan. Not only was she a frequent visitor to the Lakes, but she also has a place in Great Lakes history. As the Mangal Desai, she was the ship that rescued the crew of the USCGC Mesquite after she was wrecked on Lake Superior on December 4, 1989.
