According to information on the Great Lakes website www.boatnerd.com the end is near:  only 3 salt water vessels remain in the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway:

BBC Ems
Kathryn Spirit
Morpeth

The St. Lawrence Seaway will be closing for the season on December 29, 2006.  Bah humbug!

Only two I think as Kathryn Spirit is owned by McKeil making her a Lakes ship now but true, she is a saltie.  :-)

The Morpeth is in Montreal arrived yesterday, BBC EMS left last night, and one more being towed to Montreal the Clipper Tobago with serious engine problems, Ocean Hercule and Ocean Jupiter are the tugs assigned to do the tow from Hamilton, they should be close to arriving in Montreal shortly. Kathryn Spirit, is now a Canadian saltie but still in Hamilton, she was due to start the Aluminium trade on the St lawrence river, lets hope she can get out before the canal closure. :-?
