bigships.net - Stephen C. Host Photo: These ‘foreign’ ships are interesting to me – while not a classic lakeboat – they often have interesting liveries. Now, I’m not sure how foreign this thing really is because it appears to be owned/operated by a Canadian forest company! She’s heading back to Montreal and should be there around May 2′nd. I photographed it upbound at Sarnia/Port Huron. I’m glad shipping season is back in action – it was a very productive visit to Sarnia over easter weekend. Details on Wigeon (in Metric) note the flag noted on the canfor website differs from AIS. http://www.canfornav.com/en/mv-wigeon.aspx Is this a foreign (salty) or is this a retrofit now captive in the great lakes area? Seems to be ‘lakes fitted’ per above website??
