Carryore Stack Change

Just to add, the BGSU shots of the Menihek and Carol Lake are both 1961.

Thanks Mike, that sounds right. I've got a slide of the Menihek Lake with the Hanna Star from 1960, and I know the Carol Lake came out with the star in 1960 as well, most other shots I've seen were either '59 or '60.

I would say around 1961. At that time, Hanna was having union difficulties with the MEBA. At least two of their vessels were tied up for a period of time by union picketers: the Joe Thompson, loaded with coal in Superior and the E. T. Weir at the shipyard in Toledo. The Hanna star on the Canadian boats was attracting unwanted attention. I remember seeing the Menihek Lake in 1959 in the Welland with the orginal star on her stack. Mike

When did Carryore change stack colours from the original Hanna Mining design to the green maple leaf design, present on both the Nipigon and Carryore fleets?
Thanks
