pretty young school marm

Uncharted sandbar discovered disrovered
orold runs aground
The Thorold, a freighter out
of St. Catharines, ran aground
just . outside Goderich Harbor
Friday morning and remained
there until, Saturday evening
before it could• be towed free.
The `vessel was approaching
the harbor from the north
-loaded with 7;390 tons of grain
from Thunder Bay, She was

an uncharted'sandbar and ran

The sandbar which caused
the freak accident had been
washed up as a result of heavy
winds during the , week. The

one was aware of the fact until
the Thorold hit the bar.
Three tugs from MacDonald
Marine tried to pull •the •heavy
freighter off the bar but could
not budge it. The ship's cap-
tain, .Douglas Billard, ordered
full power 'ahead and astern
and still she would not budge.
The only course opefi `to the
skipper was to tie up and wait.
Lines were run to the two
breakw.alis and the stern an-
chor was dropped and the crew
and captain began to wait.
Thirty two hours ` later a
large tug arrived from the Stz
Clair region and lashed on to
the Thorold, freeing it from the
sandy bottom, The ship had
been operating under normal
routine since the weather
outlook was good and there
was no, immediate danger.
This was not the ,first time
Captain Douglas Billard had
, run aground during his
nautical career. He has never,
however; had it happen since
he has been master of a vessel.
"We had enough clearance
according to the charts," .he
said. "The water is down about
three feet lower than it was in
the summer but the charts
showed that. No one knew the
sandbar was there. It was just
a freak accident."
• This is the sixth' time the
Thorold has arrived in
Goderich, this summer.
It, may be a bad year for
'ships stopping in the Prettiest
Town. Last week the Roy A.
Jodreyy went down in the St.
Lawrence River, It was a
regular to Goderich as well.
