Menihek Lake and Carol Lake

[Guest]

Labrador had four ships: the Glossbrenner and Wolvin that you mentioned as well as the VW Scully and Pointe Noire.

Nipigon was also associated with Hanna Mining, it was sort of a sister company to Carryore. Both went under at the same time and the combined fleet was sold to Algoma in 1986.

Thanks all for the replies.

While we're on the subject, what boats did Labrador Shipping roster? I find photos of A. S. Glossbrenner and Augustus B. Wolvin. Pretty strange to see that classic Canadian bunker design like the Glossbrenner painted up for Interlake IMO.

Also to round out this discussion, who was Nipigon Transports associated with? They appear to have followed a similar arc to Labrador.

Don’t live in the past? A very large portion of this site is rooted in the past.

No matter how you slice it, hanna,labrador and carryore are defunk. The only us company still around is interlake. Live in the present not the past.

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.
