UPDATED: CSL Welland

20 April 2015

CSL Welland, downbound, at Bridge 11 / Allanburg Bridge, heading to Montreal.

A few minutes after arriving at the bridge, it began pouring rain and some of the photos have raindrops on them. There wasn't time to get to a good viewing spot either, so lots of tree branches in the way. Will try to do better next time...

CSL St Laurent - Trillium Class Bulker - Canada Steamship Lines

18 April 2015

A storm the night of April 9th pushed ice into the canal from Lake Erie.

CSL St-Laurent entering the Welland Canal at Port Colbourne 


The brand new CSL St-Laurent passing the Algoma Progress still laid up just north of International Marine Salvage
and looking pretty rough. It is expected that she will be scrapped this year.

Pearl Mist lowering in Lock 4. The water is being released from the lock and is roiling in front of the gates.
The railroad bridge is now open waiting for her to leave.
The yacht, Paolyre is behind the Pearl Mist but too low to be visible.
