Forebody of Algoma Transfer is the old Crispen Ogleby

Willowglen didn't go to Egypt, she went straight to the scrapyard in Aliaga, Turkey where she was cut up. A lot of ships that went for scrap overseas around that time left with a concocted cover story to try to deflect the attention of Greenpeace and other environmental groups who were actively campaigning against the export of asbestos and other toxic substances to third-world shipbreakers. The former Aquarama was supposedly going to become an accommodation ship in Greece, but she too went directly to Aliaga.

It did actually go for scrap. Storage barge was a ruse.

Lehigh, later known as Willowglen, didn't go to the scrapyards in Alang when it left the lakes in 2005. it was actually sold for use as a storage barge in Egypt. as far as I know, it may or may not still be there

Clarence B Randall was renamed Ashland in 1962 and carried that name until the end.

The maritimer Clarence B. Randall of 1943 was given the name Ashland in 1962 and carried that name to the scrap yard in 1987.

What were the names and fleets of the 16 Maritimers, and when did most of them get scrapped? TIA, Andrew. PS- Any photos well appreciated.
