Great Lakes Freighter Frontenac Soo Locks

[TSM8088]

Each year the Frontenac still delivers grain to the mill in Midland, Ont.

Man I SOOOO miss going up to the locks; haven't been since 1984. I imagine what with 9-11 it's all changed

@richintalent Nope, not really.

beautiful beautiful ship and nice video

[firemonkey1097]

i have two questions, what is the huge gray structure on the stern?, and why is she flying two different flags?

[islandcaptain]

The gray structure houses the self-unloading gear, basically a big conveyor that lets the ship discharge its cargo. The Frontenac is a Canadian ship, and the American flag is a courtesy because the ship is in American waters.

@islandcaptain if your the captain, ive guarded your ship before in the ashtabula dock yard

So many of the lakers I remember are gone along with their parent companies.

Halco- gone

Misener Lines- gone

Desgagnes Group- gone

American Steamship Lines- now Oglebay Norton

[flargmuffin92]

@richintalent Groupe Desgagnes is still around, Oglebay Norton isnt, most of their ships went to ASC aside from 5 I think it was.

I grew up near the Soo Locks. At the time, the Yankanuck was one of the biggest lakers.
