The Frontenac Passes Riverside Park

Of course the next ship is the one that caught my interest.
 It seems like many of the classic Canadian lakers are disappearing left and right.  Currently CSL has the CSL Tadoussac in layup but I think they may be waiting for the later fall grain deliveries.
 The Frontenac seems to keep soldiering on though.  And it almost looks like CSL has repainted her fairly recently, so that gives me some degree of confidence she's not going anywhere.
 One of the things about the Canadian boats is that they occasionally will go up near the mouth of the St. Lawerence River.  This means that they get to see more of the brackish waters and that tends to have a bad effect on their longevity.  They also tend to go through more canals, which means more opportunities for scrapes and dents.
 Here she is passing the Mississagi.
 It was a pretty nice night except that I was kind of shooting into the sun.
 But the red of her hull came out nicely as she started to pass the Ambassador Bridge.
And one more shot.
