So in the last 10 years or so, the ALPENA, BLOUGH, ST.CLAIR and now the CUYAHOGA have caught fire in shipyards or layup docks. Did I miss any?
What's up with that?
Unfortunately, Belt Fires are not uncommon. Here are just a few:
August 29, 1984 - Tunnel Fire aboard M/V Nanticoke while docked in Quebec City
March 2, 1986 - Tunnel Fire aboard Algosoo at Port Colborne - $10 Million in damage
September 27, 1989 - Tunnel Fire aboard H.M. Griffith in Lock 8 of Welland Canal - Burned for 11 hours
October 16, 1990 - Tunnel Fire aboard John B. Aird while docked at Indiana Harbor - Burned for 7 Hours
January 24, 1991 - Explosion aboard J.W. McGiffin while in Hamilton, Ontario
