	Saint Lawrence Seaway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		West of the Island of Montreal and Lake Saint-Louis, the Beauharnois Canal bypasses the Beauharnois hydroelectric dam.
		Called Lake St Lawrence, it required the flooding on July 1, 1958 of ten villages in Ontario, now collectively known as "The Lost Villages." There was also inundation on the New York side, but no communities were affected.
		Larger vessels of the lake freighter fleet are built on the Lakes and cannot travel down the seaway to the ocean.

		Lake freighters, however, were larger; approximately 600 feet, and featured two "islands." The island at the bow was the pilot house where the wheel man and captain worked and the island at the stern housed the boiler, engine, crew quarters, and galley.
		Speed was not the forte' of the lake freighter.
		By comparison, the super bulk freighters that ply the great lakes today are almost 1100 feet long and boast 10000 horse power.

	WINTER FROLICS ON THE GREAT LAKES
		Fortunately, two years before this incident, BMC Henley had set and pulled the buoys around Cedarville prior to being transferred to Mackinac Island, so although the buoys had been pulled for the season, he remembered where the shoals and rocks were and made it safely into Cedarville.
		The station contacted the last southbound lake freighter, which was headed for Chicago and had cleared Detour Island at the lower end of the St. Mary’s River.
		The freighter picked up the 40-footer and the 36-footer on radar and directed BM1 Rambus to the 40-footer.

		I told her of a chance encounter by this very lake, twenty-one years ago.

	Letters to the Editor
		To the Editor: I write to you as a voice among many who share a great concern for the bridge being proposed on the northwest corner of Lake Erie between Grosse Ile and Sugar Island.
		Such a bridge would have a significant negative impact upon this entire area and all need to be aware of the almost unanimous feeling against this bridge that exists among residents of Grosse Ile and those non-residents who enjoy our beautiful island.
		The only route to these waters would be the commercial shipping channel that is often a hazardous place when facing a large lake freighter in such tight quarters.
