Topic: Canadian Steamship Lines


  
  Steamship Lines - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1826 the " United Kingdom," a " leviathan steamship," as she was considered at the time of her construction, was built for the London and Edinburgh trade, steamship facilities in the coasting trade being naturally of much greater relative importance in the days before railways.
The mail contracts were then in the hands of the Union Line exclusively, but in 1873 the House of Commons refused to ratify the extension of the contract signed with them by the chancellor of the exchequer, and their rights thus expired in 1876.
Up to 1876 the Cape parliament made an allowance to the Castle Line for the conveyance of letters, and when the postal contract was renewed in that year it was divided between the Union and the Castle lines, an arrangement which was adhered to down to the time when the two lines united their fortunes.

 Canada Steamship Lines Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CSL also came into ownership of one of Canada's largest shipyards, Davie Shipbuilding, in Lauzon, Quebec for a period in the 1960s-1970s and was at one time a major passenger line on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.
CSL's growth through the industrial booms of both world wars was largely tied to the increasing importance of the steel industry in Ontario, where mills were built, or soon to be built, in Sault Ste.
CSL exploited this traffic by continually refining its self-unloading bulk carrier designs, coupled with improvements in stevedoring at various ports to arrive at a minimal number of human operators required.

 Fire Articles - Fire on the Water: The Story of the S.S. Noronic
The Canadian Department of Transport certified the Noronic as an Inland Steamship Class 1, with a maximum crew of 200 and a passenger limit of 600, on April 23, 1949.
By international agreement, the United States recognized the provisions of the Canadian regulations as 'approximating those of the United States.' Consequently the U.S. Coastguard issued a U.S. Certificate of Examination on April 28, 1949, indicating that the vessel complied with Canadian requirements, thus allowing her to operate to and from U.S. ports.
Canadian fire protection regulations that would have helped avert this disaster can be traced to the Canada Shipping Act of 1934 and subsequent regulations.

Playfair, a major investor, was able to bring about the merger of Northern Navigation with his Inland Lines Inc. and the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Co. in 1913, a year known for the further establishment of Canada Steamship.
The house flag had a red cross throughout; the upper hoist and lower fly quarters were white, the other ones blue; letters N and N were placed on the upper quarters, and C and O on the lower, all counterchanged.
In 1911, Niagara Navigation - commonly named the Niagara River Line and having become a major player - took over the Hamilton Steamship Co. and the Turbine Steamship Co. but was itself acquired by Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Ltd in 1912, soon to be merged with other companies to form Canada Steamship Lines Inc. (1913).

 For Those in Peril on the Sea - LostLiners.com
Since she sailed across the border between Canada and the US, she was certified as an Inland Steamship Class 1 ship by the Canadian Department of Transportation, with a maximum passenger limit of 600, and a crew of 200.
The end-result was that Captain Taylor's certificate was suspended for one year and Canadian Steamship lines were ordered to pay all court costs and close to $3 million dollars to the families of the victims.
Canadian fire protection regulations would have prevented this had they been made retroactive when they were implemented in 1939, however since the Noronic was built in 1913, she was naturally exempt since there was instruction that ships built before 1939, be made accountable to the regulations of the day.

 Canadian Dimension / Articles / Revisiting A Forgotten High-seas Struggle (Dennis Pilon)
Another tracks the complicity of the Canadian state with private shipping interests to hinder union organizing in the 1930s, ply private industry with public money in wartime and ultimately sell off the publicly owned merchant fleet to private interests at bargain prices in the 1950s.
In line with the best tradition of historical documentary filmmaking, she goes further, linking the crimes of the past to crimes in the present — crimes like the unregulated conditions on contemporary merchant ships that allow seaman to die as old rustbucket ships sink regularly due to lack of maintenance.
Betrayed is an important film, as it rescues the voices of working people and unearths a pivotal battle in Canadian labour history and the struggle for a national welfare state.

Or the “Canadian value” as created by liberals who decided that what Canada needs urgently at this time is to change the definition of “Canadian family” and “marriage” to further destroy the value of the Canadian family in favor of reverence of government instead?
Or maybe he’s talking about their Supreme Court division, which just decided in December that another “Canadian value” is to encourage the growth of clubs at which Canadians—perhaps whole families—can get together and watch group sex, participate in the group sex if they feel the urge, and swap wives back and forth.
Maybe he’s talking about the sponsorship corruption “value” that the RCMP are still investigating on a criminal basis after his Liberal government operatives have been shown by the Gomery inquiry to have stolen taxpayer cash and used it to fuel their own party.
