Heimbecker, will not be returning. The veteran Great Lakes bulk carrier has, had her final voyage. She arrived in Ashtabula, Ohio, late last month and present plans call - for her scrapping at that Lake Erie port. This ship has called here regularly for more than a decade. She has brought millions of bushels of grain from Thunder Bay to the local elevator. Originally an ore carrier, her size limited profitability in that trade by 1960. She returned ' to duty and was modified for shipments of Canadian grain. Once one of the gianta of the lakes, she was, at 569 feet overall length, among the smallest at the end.

Perkins. Sold to Westdale Shipping in 1964, it was this Canadian flag fleet which brought her to port for the first time as Westdale. Since 1977 this ship has been owned by the Soo River Company: They continued to send her to Goderich under tile final name of H. - C. Heimbecker. In the past ten years probably no other Great Lakes ship has called at the local elevators more freqiiently. During her Great Lakes career this vessel avoided all serious groundings, colli- sions and fires. She lasted a long time and was a credit to her owners, customers and sailors that maintained her. Official inspection was due this year and the cost re- quired to keep a ship of this vintage in continued service could not be justified. This accounted for her sale for scrap.
