CSL Tadoussac Downbound Port Huron

The CSL Tadoussac is shown passing Port Huron. The CSL Tadoussac was launched May 29, 1969 as the Tadoussac for Canada Steamship Lines Inc., Montreal, PQ. On the day of her launch, she slid down the ways 15 minutes prematurely killing 2 workers and injuring 35 others. The accident was blamed on rotting support timbers. The Tadoussac was the last Canada Steamship Lines vessel built with the forward pilothouse and the first to be built with stern mounted self-unloading gear. On December 15, 2000, the Tadoussac laid up at Port Weller Dry Docks, St. Catharines, ON where her center section was rebuilt and her self-unloading equipment was updated. The $20 million widening and conversion project was based on contractual agreements with customers in the cement clinker and iron ore trades.
