Great lake boats, a good video

Looking out my living room window I see the Rt Hon Paul J Martin of CSL is finally out of dry dock in Port Weller.
She spent the winter having work done.
It's kind of cool seeing ships being pulled out as they block the canal at a right angle to normal travel.
Somehow the ship looks even bigger in that position.
I don't know if it will be moored at the dock for further work or if it's all finished.

It's tied up to the canal side dock.
Work goes on I guess.

Here's kind of a neat view of the lock and shipyard from google earth screenshot this morning. No idea what ship is in the lock. Looks like a tug in the drydock. No idea of the date.

Obviously a summer shot. The ship is coming out of Lock 1 and by colour looks like a CSLs vessel.
Could even be the Right Honourable...
I'm located south if this picture were to be extended.
They must be working on the self un/loading equipment as on of the booms is out over the docks this afternoon.

How did they get the ingredients to the steel mills back in WWII ?

The same way! The even kept the locks open year-around and I read that ice was troublesome. The mills stockpile pellets for the winter season.
