warm fall weather; for more golfing for

Let's hope we have the weather for

precious rounds of golf we have left for the

Algoma ships seen at this port
The ships of Algoma Central Marine
are often seen in this port, particularly to
load cargoes of salt for various 'destina-
tions, including U.S. cities.
Said to have the longest continuous
history of bulk shipping operations (since
1900) on the Great Lakes, Algoma Cen-
tral is a division of the railway of the
same name. The rail line operates from
Sault Ste. Marie northwards to Hearst,
with a spur line to Michipicoten harbour
on Lake Superior. The ships operate
throughout the lakes from their home
port at the Sault, and at least orte has
limited ocean-going capability.
Currently, the Algoma Central fleet
numbers 18 ships, probable the most in
its history. They range in age from the
Algocape (formerly the Carol Lake
which joined the fleet this year) built in
1960 to the flagship John B. Aird built in
1983.
The Aird was a visitor to Goderich
recently. Built by the Collingwood
Shipyards, this self-unloader has all
superstructure at the aft end of her 730
feet. Her other dimensions are: beam 76
feet and depth 47 feet. She is named after
former Ontario Lieutenant -governor
John Black Aird of Toronto.
During her winter layup a couple of
years ago, I toured the Aird and can see
why, as the line's newest vessel, she is its
flagship. She is as well equipped and
modern a ship as one would expect to see
at any port in the world.
But it was in the dark bowels of the
ship, where the conveyors for the seem-
ingly endless belts of the self -unloading
system disappear into the gloom, that
one truly appreciates the size and com-
plexity of these modern ships. The boom
SHIPVVATCHER
By Dick With
that you see on deck is really only the tip
of the iceberg. Down below are hundreds
of feet of rubber belting, on hundreds of
rollers, that empties the ship's entire
cargo.
Another Algoma Central ship often
seen here is the Algoway. Measuring 650
by 72 by 40 feet, this vessel had the
distinction of being Hull number 200
when she was launched at Collingwood in
1972.
She is the second ship to carry the
Algoway name for the fleet. Her
predecessor was a 356 -foot straight -
decker built in 1903 and active in the
Great Lakes"trade for an incredible 60
years. In addition tet her Algoma career,
she also sailed under the names G. Wat-
son French, Henry P. Werner and John
J. Boland Jr.
Similarly, the Algorail is the second of
the company's ships to bear that name.
The first was a 346 -foot vessel built in
1901 with the name William S. Mack. She
later became the Home Smith for a
period before joining the Algoma Central
line.
The current Algorail, a self-unloader,
was built at Collingwood in 1968 and is 640
by 72 by 40 feet.
Unlike the Aird, both Algoway and
Algorail have forward wheelhouses
which, to this writer's eyes, generally
gives a Great Lakes ship more pleasing
lines.
