Good food and conversa- tion were enjoyed by all attending. President Jean Wheeler welcomed all and wished each Season's Greetings. Regular meetings will resume on the third Monday of each month in the Auxiliary Room. New members are always welcome. Tugboats have appeal Peek into the minds of tugboat buffs in Vancouver, Halifax or Goderich and you'll probably find the passion they share for these little ships can be lavished on any tug, anywhere. So tug fanciers should be alerted to read the latest issue of Equinox magazine. It describes the tugs of British Columbia and, though not the Great Lakes, the article is interesting and well illustrated. For those who have never sailed on a working tug (regrettably, this writer is one), it may shatter a few myths we tug buffs have about towboats. It's not all a bed of roses on these quaint workhorses, especially the smaller ones. It can he noisy, uncomfortable, tedious and dangerous. But it pays well and has an ap- peal that true tugboatmen can't resist. ••• The Manitoulin Island ferry Chi- Cheemaun on Oct. 9 reportedly was forced by weather to return to Tobermory. It was only the third time in her 13 -year life that the "Big Canoe" has been unable to cross the South Baymouth on the island. I was on the lakes the day, though in pro- tected waters, and while I recall strong southwest winds there have certainly been much worse conditions. But looking at the ferry's route on a map, it becomes obvious that after passing Cove Island in a southwesterly blow she would be exposed on her beam to the full sweep of Lake • Huron (about 180 miles) for most of the journey. Even a ship the Chi-Cheemaun's size might take a beating. Actually, it's amazing that the ship has been turned back only three times. I know of one old-timer who had a wild late autumn crossing in the 1950s aboard the lit- tle Norinac. He said late he truly wondered if he'd ever see shore again. .. Remember the South American? She was about the last cruise steamship on THE SHIPWATCHER By nick With these waters until she was sold of the lakes almost exactly 20 years ago. She and her identical twin North American were operated by; the Chicago, Duluth and Georgian Bay Transit Co. of Detroit. We may lag forgiven if, like many others in these parts, we believed both these ships had gone to the scrappers long ago. But the South American had not, though she is now I'm sad to learn. Back in October 1967, this ship was reported sold to the Seafarers Interna- tional Union which planned to use her as a floating training center somewhere on the U.S. Atlantic coast. I believe she actually made it to Philadelphia because I recall a newspaper clipping later showing her bat- tered and listing in some forgotten backwater near that city. Lake Log Chips newsletter reports that the South American is only now being scrapped, along with sheds at a former New York shipyard. "Thus," says Chips, "20 years after she last carried passengers what is left on the once Queen of the Lakes will apparently meet her end." Apparently in the last two decades many proposals have been made to rescue and restore the old girl, but all in vain. "May her end be swift and merciful," Chips concludes. The South and North Americans were fine looking twin -stacked steamers which for years cruised to many American and Canadian lake ports, large and small, with crowds of happy holidayers. It was a facet of life which those communities probably will see no more. w ft, 49 10 ►�1 ifteie 111. iirqrr w.- GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1987—PAGE 13A 60 YEARS OF SERVICE TO CANADIANS SAVINGS SHOWN IN THIS Al) BASED ON CURRENT METRO TORONTO A&P REGULAR RETAILS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES TU NORMAL FAMILY REQUIRE Ml NT S � ' PRKSCS E FFECTIVE MONDAY DECEMBER 14TH TO SATURDAY DECEMBER 19TH 1987 Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season i teirteleirt .% 6,0 • L=„fir sw CSI a tfj 07 • • PRODUCT OF USA GrapefruitFRESH FROM THE FLORIDA SUNSHINE TREE Grapefruit,+.J /1 White 811.99 4 ti.13 Si3HSi6i&SE. ftt 11 .. • t°I glirojik 1401 :r” w it r i tiT 704 lie Cal Til ��1'd`a1 ram►sl t4 A i ►�itl ►ice l tpes r llW01 ir4P: a:.rate—\v w Ceti wOLKE GnGiant 0141r ./firo Uw*iktt 504 SIP 011) ••FROZEN, UNSWEETENED CONCENTRATED CO fltOFA A&P Orange Juke 12,5 FL 07 TIN ,79 vtR f.eans:Ca►rk♦ <N 1440 Cast?
