Shipping Woes Hit Thunder Bay Fleets In 1983
The 1983 shipping season on Thunder Bay saw Canadian fleets endure multiple mishaps. Algowood ran aground in April due to late winter ice, Canadian Pioneer damaged a buoy during docking, Algocen struck a dock amid winds, and Willowglen grounded in June needing six tugboats to free it. Willowglen later became a grain storage hulk in 1994. Birchglen also figures in the harbour tale.
