(photo by Sam Kinsman) Canadian Coast Guard ship, the Henry Larsen, enroute from Victoria Very little is happening these days in shipbuilding on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes. The last freighter produced by our shipyards was delivered four years ago. Since then, only small vessels and repair work have kept shipbuilders busy. The slump has even brought about the demise of Ontario's busiest shipyard at Collingwood. We may be reaching a bit in drawing at- tention to a new ship from the West Coast. But it's quite possible she may be seen here on the lakes some time in the future. She is the new Canadian Coast Guard Ship Henry Larsen, named after the RCMP superintendent who commanded the little wooden motorized schooner St. Roch on her epic traverse of the Northwest Passage in 1944. The Larsen is said to be enroute this fall from Victoria, . B.C. to her new base at Dartmouth, N.S. She will replace the 35 -year-old CCGS Labrador as an icebreaker for winter service on the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and gulf, and the east coast of Newfoundland. Her sum- mers will be spent i>z Arctie $epi • Built at a cost of.$91.3 million, the Larsen was completed by Versatile Pacific Shipyards Inc., formerly, Burrard Yar- rows, of Vancouver. She was designed by the Canadian firm of German and Milne, and is 327 feet (99.8 m) in overall length. With her diesel-electric powerplant, she is THE SHIPWATCHERb By Dick With rated as a Class 4 icebreaker capable of breaking through four feet of. level ice at a speed of '3 knots. To a layman, the business of . owning ships can be fraught with mystery. When a new vessel enters service, its actual owners may havenothing to do with shipp- ing. They simply invest in this enormous mass of floating steel and charter it to a shipping company to operate and bring in profits. Take the Tarantau of Canada Steamship Lines for example. When launched at Coll- ingwood in 196,4, the big self-unloader was actually built for Canadian General Elec- tric Co. of Peterborough, who also happen- ed to be the supplier of her twinsteam tur- bines. She was bareboat chartered to CSL for' -two years untq the latter bought her. But in 1978 the owner of the Tarantau was officially listed as Power Corporation of Canada. What happened to CSL, whose name and colors the ship still wore? CSL was listed only as managers of the vessel. Themystery was somewhat explained with the knowledge that Power Corp. was BIG V CORRECTION The AM/FM stereo cassette player/recorder advertised at $2499 on page 6 of today's BUG V flyer is an AM/FM stereo radio only andydoes not contain a cassette player/recorder.

One oldtimer headed from Duluth under tow to the lower lakes, the American ship A. H. Ferbert, was so troublesome that seven different tugs were needed to get her as far as the Welland Canal. They were Glenada of Sarnia, W.J. Ivan Purvis of the Sault, Elmore M. Misner, Nanticoke, Bar- bara. Ann, Port Huron, and Glenside, Hamilton, plus two unidentified tugs. The McKeil tug Argue Martin of Hamilton reportedly blew her engine while towing two scrappers down the St. Lawrence with her sister ship Glenevis. Another sister, the Glenbrook towed the Martin to Morrisburg, then took over her job with the tow. • The newsletter Lake Log Chips, source of "the foregoing news, repeats a report from Manitoulin Island that the former 30 -foot Gore Bay tug Nellie Ted Purvis of the Sault sank in Lake Superior. She V*►nk under tow' by the larger Alphni Seven w'1ten. a big wave overwhelmed her somewhere between Batchawana Bay and Michipicoten Island. Lake Superior continues to warn that she won't be trifled with. i Let us show you how to pay off your mortgage in half the time. 50 South St. Goderich 524-4407 1-800-265-5504 G.M.
