TELESCOPE June 123 GREAT LAKES AND SEAWAY /VEWS We begin this issue with bow views of two new ships built by Great Lakes shipyards. Above is the Port Weller-buiIt stemwinder self-unloader Cape Breton Miner, from a photo by Leonard Barr II. Her twin funnels recall both nineteenth century "steam barges" and the new Mohawk stemwinder Silver Isle, while her boom positioning recalls the old BdCo seIf-unloader Col. E, M. Young. The Upper Lakes fleet owns her. Below is the trim diesel ferry Tustumena, built for service in Alaskan waters out of Kodiak, her home-port-to-be. She stopped off in Detroit recently on her delivery trip from her builders, Christy Corp. of Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Bill Hoey photographed her from his newly-acquired tug, Tipperary. On our last page (143) we close this issue, appropriately enough, with stern views of these new vessels.
