EJB I can’t say or answer that mostly due to the fact that I never once saw her in her Misener hull color and livery. I’ve seen her as Federal Fraser and now as the Spruceglen and that’s been it! The best thing IMO at least is when she was purchased by CSL and the painted her hull in red along with the Birchglen as well. Before they got the CSL red hulled pain applied to each of them, I hated their hull colors and the looks of them! Personally EJB, I miss the days of the Pioneer hull colors seeing that on the Silver Isle, Senneville and the Saskatchewan Pioneer. Ah, those definitely were the good ‘ole days of shipping back then. I didn’t get started into the boats, the hobby, passion and the photography of them until the early 1990s. So, I missed a lot of good stuff once I became involved with the boats. I still got to see the Pioneer hull colors on the 3 that I mentioned earlier it’s just that the Misener blue I didn’t see too much of back then. I definitely miss the Oglebay Norton ships as Oglebay usually took great care of their ships and usually had them looking very good come Spring Fit Out with fresh paint. Now days, I think only Interlake and GLF really take good pride and care of their ships and boats and not like sims of the others.
