Additional details

VICTORIAN PRINCESS transitted downbound through the canal today on her delivery trip to New Hamphire. She cleared the canal around 09:30 and stopped at St. Catharines Marina (a pleasurecraft marina on the east side of Port Weller's east pier) for fuel and cleared for Oswego at 13:00. She was apparently built in Wisconsin several years ago and operated somewhee on the upper lakes. Her destination is an inland lake in Northern New Hamphire. (Picture soon to come!!!)

Any additional info ??? Let me know..

Early this morning PACIFIC STANDARD & OCEAN HAULERr secured at wharf 13, the Robin Hood Mill in Humberstone, at 03:58. It is not yet known why they tied up there but at around 09:00 Pacific Standard departed wharf 13 and left Ocean Hauler secured there. The tug passed down the canal and cleared Port Weller at 14:00 destined for Cape Vincent. She was summoned to help free the grounded bulker APTMARINER in the St. Lawrence. (photos and more info to come)
