As with some of the other ships in the Wagenborg fleet, she is a Ice Class 1A vessel, which are designed to operate in difficult ice conditions without icebreaker assistance, while the 1B and 1C class may require assistance. Built in 2010 at the Koninklijke Niestern Sander shipyard in the Netherlands, she was designed as a cargo / container ship.

As if the air quality from the fires wasn't bad enough, the crew from the Wilf Seymour had to deal with the "agri-dust" from loading at the ADM grain terminal in Windsor Ontario recently.The Wilf Seymour is a 73 tonne, bollard-pill and coastal towing tug owned by McKeil Marine. The 120' long 62 year old tug is captured here along with her younger partner the 425' Alouette Spirit.Aerial Photography and Videography by Windsor Aerial Drone Photography.Residential - Commercial - Industrial - Agricultural - Marine.Licensed by Transport Canada.

We can call this post "The Gary that never was" United States Steel bought 1200 acres of land near Windsor Ontario at a site called Ojibway for construction of a giant integrated steel mill that was to be built and owned by the Canadian Steel Company a subsidiary of USS. A town was planned allong with the mill for workers. Construction started in and about 1917. A dock slip was completed, some large buildings and two furnaces were also built. 14 furnaces were planned in total with open hearths and milling buildings. The plant was never completed due to delays, a post war recession, and other issues. What was completed and the land was bought in 1937 by Dominion Steel and Coal of Canada which did some minor iron making. The following excerps explain some details:The Canadian Steel Corporation, a subsidiary of the United States Steel Company, purchased an 1800 acre site about 1917 and an elaborate town was planned to house workers at the plant. Roads were built and fire hydrants installed before the town itself was started and a four-lane divided highway separated the plant site from the town and connected it to Windsor, four kilometres away. The recession of the 1920s led the company to reassess the Canadian plant. Some mills were erected but the residential areas were never started. The depression of the 1930s finally killed the project, although the buildings which had been erected were used for war work in the 1940s. The town, which had been incorporated in 1913, remained a municipality although its population never exceded 100. It was annexed by Windsor in 1966, by which time natural regeneration had created a forest on the town site. Part of the site is now Windsor's nature park and the land planned for the Carnegie steel plant was developed for industry and is now known as the Morton Industrial Park. The residential area is now used by a harness racing complex, a new subdivision and the nature park.The Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation announced that it had contracted. to buy four Canadian subsidiaries of the United, States Steel Corporation-the Canadian Steel Corporation, Ltd., Ojibway, Ont.; Canadian Bridge Company, Ltd., Walkerville, Ont.; Essex Terminal Railway Company, in the Walkerville-Windsor area of Ontario, and Canadian Steel Lands, Ltd., Ojibway. 1937

| 1 of 4 photos posted by Robert Phillips, Jan 20, 2024 CSL’s Whitefish Bay with a load of Windsor Ontario’s finest road salt heads off to Chicago. We got you America 😉😂 Not shown. CCGS ice breaker Samuel Risley has fired up and left her moorings at Dieppe Park here in Windsor and will accompany the Whitefish Bay through the icy St Clair waters. 1.20.24 mid afternoon. [Chicagoland didn't need salt in December, but we should have needed it in January.] |

The flotilla.
One last shot of the S.S. S.T. Crapo docked as if it were just another day at work while on her last voyage to the scrapyard.
If it weren't for the towline still rigged to the tug Molly M I, you would think that this was just a shot of her at Morterm along with the MV Reestborg at ADM Industries and the Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin docked at Canadian Salt.
The second photo was the Stormont Tug / Truck Ferry attempting to photobomb the photo and get one last photo of her with the S.T. Crapo. (Notice how the morning sunlight is only shining on the S.T. Crapo)
