The; Great Lakes freighter C. S. Band,
which 'recently has undergone some
"b'asic repairs at Goderich harbor, has
had a• long. involved and varied history
and may yet live• to write another
Chapter..
The ship wa4. .built at Chicago it 1896
for the Minnesota Steam' Ship•Cornpany
and named. the .A. Martha.. In 1901- her
. r ilal owners merged with the Pitt
s#3vrih S:S: Company and • the then
144a'rtha beeame the. B. Florence. In 1936
she was•sold; to Lakehead .Transport:Ltd..
and was renamed C. Maureen.
Her namewas changed again in 1938,
this time t� D. Florence. Great Lakes
Lumber and Shipping Ltd. bought the
freighter: in 1942 and 'operated the ship.
until 1949 .when she was sold to Paterson
and Sons'Ltd. and renamed'E: O-wndoc.. .
The ship✓ent out of''service in'1962
whenr she was sold to the Goderich •
Elevator 'and Transit Company but
under ,terms -of the purchase agreement'
the Paterson naive had to come off .so
she was renamed the C. S. Band after a.;
company board member:. ,
From the time of that purchase until
May of 1975.the ship served as- a storage
barge in Goderich harbor. She was then
sold to MacNathara.and Pitts. Engineers

Point Nuclear Power Station and sunk'

for a temporary harbor.
T1Se^Band.had'been sunk on a prepared
bed by filling her holds with rock and it
'had been hoped to refloat:her after the.
Douglas Point harbor was no longer
needed. An agreement existed between
the engineering firrn and the local•
elevator company to put her 'back in

Unfortunately the "Craft suffered
