Telescope 85 Whitefish Bay New Flagship of the Canada Steamship Lines, WHITEFISH BAY made her first trip into Cleveland, arriving on April 2oth. She came from Picton with 23,425 Gross tons of pellets for Bethlehem Steel. The WHITEFISH BAY is powered with an oil turbine, and was built by Davie Shipbuilding, Limited at Lauzon, Quebec, as hull nuipber 625. She is 730' x 75' x 26.6'. Her estimated capacity is 26,000 tons, a figure yet to be confirmed, as the Picton channel is not dredged to sufficient depth to accomodate her fully loaded draft. Her contract date was July 6, 1959, and she was launched on November 16, 1960. TELESCOPE thanks member Peter B. Worden for the cover picture and much of this information. The fine launching picture is member Donald Page who also rates our thanks. WE ARE SORRY We goofedi Yes, we could say that some poor typist caused the problem, but we won't.
