A rare visitor to Clarkson. December 6 2023 with a load from Conneaut Ohio.
My on-line friend Charlie Danko who lived in New Jersey died on October 7 2023. It was unexpected, he had just returned from Florida . He sent me these pictures of container ships at Charleston SC.
After leaving Clarkson it sailed to Montreal and then was headed to Germany to the Kiel Canal.
First of the Season 2019. There might have already been two arrivals in Clarkson before April 9 but this was the first picture of the season. ** Update November 2020** This vessel might have been renamed Northern Spirit but still flagged in the Marshall Islands.

Another casualty of Algoma Central's modernization program the Algolake was built in 1976 at Collingwood. Her maiden voyage was in 1977 and she sailed for 40 seasons being laid up at the conclusion on the 2017 season. She was sold for scrap and towed to Turkey in 2018 .

Built in 1979 as Canadian Enterprise for Upper Lakes Shipping it was transferred to Algoma Steamships with the rest of the Upper Lakes fleet in 2011. Retired and scrapped at Port Colborne. 2021
From Algoma's Website: The Algoma Intrepid is the second 650-foot self-unloading dry-bulk carrier built in the Equinox Class design for the Algoma domestic fleet. Delivered late in 2020, the ship entered service in the Great Lakes trading area immediately, joining her sister ship Algoma Innovator. Designed with Equinox Class specifications, the vessel has been engineered to be another leader in the river class business. The forward-mounted boom permits the cargo to be delivered in niche spaces, allowing flexibility and greater access for the customer.

Algoma Niagara Equinox Class built 2017
Algoma Olympic spring voyage to Clarkson. April 2017. This ship finished the 2017 season and was towed to Turkey for scrapping.
Built in 1976 as Canadian Olympic (the 1976 Olympics were held in Montreal) for Upper Lakes Shipping it came to Algoma Steamships with the rest of the Upper Lakes fleet in 2001. I was able to catch it near the close of the 2016 shipping season but it sailed another year after that.
The Algoma Sault, built in 2017, is the second self-unloading Equinox Class 740-foot bulk carrier. The vessel name pays tribute to the long-standing relationship between Algoma Central Corporation and the City of Sault Ste. Marie and recognizes the important role that marine shipping plays within this community.
