And the Algoma Transport

Again, I didn't look up where this ship was heading, so I am going to speculate.
 Since she's a Canadian vessel, it is likely she is coming back from Thunder Bay.
 She's a self unloader, so it is likely she is carrying coal, stone or iron.  I think that makes it likely she is heading for Nanticoke.
 Nanticoke is just before the Welland Canal.  There is a steel mill there, so it accepts all three of the cargos listed above.
 Anyway, if Nanticoke, she's got another 18 hours ahead of her.
 For having stern mounted pilothouse, she's a pretty nice looking boat.
 She was built in Port Weller and is probably one of the last Canadian built ships.
 I'm not sure how much longer she will be in service.
 The beam shot.
And she continues on.
