Heddle Shipyards and had her bow raised to accommodate the work being performed."

The four cranes on the ship indicate that it is a general purpose freighter. They have been turned away from the ship to get them out of the way of the loading operation. This salty probably delivered a cargo load to another port and then stopped here to get a load of grain for its return trip down the St. Lawrence Seaway.

This town is like some of the towns in Kansas where it is a non-trivial exercise to figure out who owns what. The brown structure at the top is an abandoned iron ore dock. CN used to have railroad tracks that went up a trestle and across the top of that dock to drop ore into the bins. |

Spotted the 1968 lake freighter CSL Frontenac today on my walk.
Of all the active lakers on the Canadian side of the lakes, I'd love a tour of her the most.

Bob Summers: Do they handle “salties” (ocean going ships) at Thunder Bay?
Dennis DeBruler: Bob Summers I don't know about Thunder Bay, but I do know the Twin Ports (Duluth+Superior) load salties as backhaul cargo. Many of those loads are beet pulp for livestock feed.
Thunder Bay does load seaway max ships, which used to be considered ocean going. But many, if not all, of those ships now transload their cargo to bigger ships downstream of Montreal.
