I am not sure what you mean. There have been many many posts since then.

That's what they are. It was covered in a story in the 2021 Know Your Ships.

That is the name, or pen name, of the contributor of the item.

The post came about because the National Museum sent out a press release. Would be happy to post other events if information is sent to [email protected]

The silos are for liquid asphalt storage, not related to loading ops. Gypsum is trucked in and loaded with portable reach stackers/front end loaders

Loading gypsum for Port Colborne

The Sykes got the red band last season, the Block this year. This is a throwback to the Inland Steel days

One of them is at the MCM Marine drydock in the Soo, arrived last week.

The Cort and Gott have work boats. Can't speak to the other footers. Smaller boats may go to docks that require a work boat to bring the lines ashore, footers typically do to docks where that would not be needed.

Very much active! Jay Bascom, the editor of The Scanner, has had some health issues. Bill Moran is filling in and there will be a Scanner soon

Well that stings. Would you like to volunteer to send us such imformation?

Yes, should be sailing to load in Superior sometime this weekend

Picton Terminal

Freshwater Press is long gone. None of the titles are being published currently by anyone.

The loss of the scrapyard tours (liability issues) + COVID can be blamed for the demise of the Welland gathering. Attendance numbers had been dropping every year. However if enough people want it, I am sure the gathering could be reinstated.

I was wondering if you knew what the swing capabilities on the Algoma Innovator and the Mark Barker are, in degrees.

It is still in the Soo at the Purvis West dock. At this point I think we can consider it a failed sale, altho I understand there is a pary in Montreal interested in it.

The Gott is not broke down. I just got off her. Issues with the dock. I see she has finally loaded an headed down the lake. Oakglen loading now.

The volunteer who compiles the reports is on vacation.
