You are correct about the model, but you missed the lead ship in the class. That was Hanna’s
George M. Humphrey built in Lorain, OH in
1954.
The two Canadian vessels were part of a Hanna subsidiary, Carryore.
The Menihek Lake did not have passenger quarters like the other four vessels did.

Carryore was a Canadian branch of Hanna Mining, not Interlake. Interlake's similar Canadian subsidiary was Labrador Shipping.

Carryore was the canadian subsiduary of interlake. It was sold to algoma central in the 80s. Their house flag was like the present day Canadian but instead of being red it was black

Was looking at pictures of the old Carryore fleet and noticed that the boats Menihek Lake and Carol Lake are actually very similar apart from their pilothouses. My question then is two-fold. Were these boats built with the same hull design and if so, why the switch in pilothouses?

Also of note is that the pilothouse on the Carol Lake looks very similar to that of the John Sherwin or Charles Beeghly.
