We still haven't shown your local port, or we missed something? Well, you have nobody to blame but yourself, because you didn't send us your list! We can't know everything about every lake harbour or ship and we rely on our members to provide the information necessary for the pro­ duction of this important annual record. To those who did help, please rise and "stay ris" whilst we read your names and give you a big ovation: Jim Bartke, Terry Beahen, Rene Beauchamp, Ron Beaupre, Roger Chapman, Ken Davis, Norman Eakins, Charles Fournier, Glen Gardiner, Skip Gillham, Gerald Hutton, Alvon Jackson, Mark Jackson, Ron Kon­ kol, Andy LaBorde, Jason LaDue, George Lee, Buck Longhurst, Mac Mackay, Alan Mann, Jim Michael, Gerry Ouderkirk, Carmen Paris, John Philbin, Frank Prothero, George Renton, Greg Rudnick, Albert Schelling, Neil Schultheiss, Terry Sechen, Jimmy Sprunt, David Swain and Jim Toyne. To these members and friends of the Toronto Marine Historical Society, we owe a huge debt of gratitude. * * * * * ONE MORE TRIP IN PELEE We wish to extend sincere thanks to all who have written, called or e-mailed to say how much they enjoyed our two-instalment feature on the Pelee Island ferry PELEE. We appreciate the kind words; they make up for the traumatic experience we had trying to put that burgeoning story together in such a limited period of time. In regard to the scrapping of PELEE, we know that Vince Barrie, when he could interest nobody in taking PELEE off his hands to find a trade for her, sold her to Strathearne Terminals Ltd., of Hamilton. But Strathearne did not tow her to Hamilton to break her up in its scrapping berth there. Instead, she was gradually broken up over an extended period of time at Port Stanley, where she had been lying idle for so long. Member Bill Schell advises that Lloyd's Register's records show that PELEE was scrapped by Goderich Marine Salvage Ltd., with the work beginning on November 7, 1966, at Port Stanley. Who this firm was, we do not know, nor do we know whether it actually com­ pleted the scrapping some ten years later. If Goderich Marine Salvage had been working under contract to Strathearne, we doubt that it would have been so dilatory in the dismantling of the ship. And finally, we noted that a piece of the forefoot of PELEE lay on the beach at Port Stanley as late as 1990. We have it on the best of authority that a small piece of PELEE's bow lies to this day near the store by Scudder's Dock on Pelee Island, a silent reminder of the many years of this faithful and "cute" (your words, thank you) little steamer's service to the Island. * * * * * * *
