J.A.W Inglehart exits locks on the Welland Canal

The JAW Inglehart was built as an ocean going tanker in 1936. It has been made into a Laker, and owned by Inland Lakes Management Inc. It is seen here exiting the locks on the Welland Canal at St. Catharines, Ontario More information on this, and other ships can be found on the "Boatnerd" site.

Is it a Duluth???

[LNERMallard]

She is in Superior, WI, being used as a cement silo, just like her nearby sister, J.B. Ford.

We happen to be at Duluth and caught her coming in on her final voyage. We where wondering why they backed her into the berth. The several days later we where leaving, and the stack was covered, and they where pumping water out. Little did we know that was her last trip. Sad, real sad, but at least we got it. Thanks for looking. Jack...

@SobmiJ Nothing wrong with the Alpena!

One of the nicest on the lakes. Very unique boat.

Before her, the S. T. Crapo was also long term laid up, and next to the Iglehart was the Paul H. Townsend. I don't think S. T. Crapo will sail again, but the others may have some luck. :)

I took a better look at the J. B. Ford and actually you're right. It's just because I've confused her with the William H. Donner. This one really got the pilothouse removed. J. B. Ford's pilothouse is still there, but once she isn't needed as a storage barge, she goes directly to the scrapyard. And other ships of her size and a bit larger will meet the same fate, including the J. A. W. Iglehart.

[LNERMallard]

What? The J.B. Ford has a pilot house! (I think) It is just really tiny, because the J.B. Ford is so old.

[MCOvronnaz]

Too bad she's being used as a cement silo... Even the E. M. Ford already met her fate. :(

About the J. B. Ford...

...She will never sail under own power again, she even has no pilothouse on!...
