Our cover and a view above at right show the Norwegian training ship Christian Radich, photographed by Pat Labadie from a Coast Guard vessel on Lake St. Clair during the sailing vessel's visit to the lakes in August, 1964. Above, at left, the small Danish freighter Jarso presents a jaunty appearance and a bone in her teeth in this Massman photo. This is the third of our annual Seaway issues, that appeared previously in May issues of 1962 and 1963. V/e continue in the same format as before, so that increased size is the distinguishing feature of this edition. Once again, Donald Baut has prepared List One, describing ocean visitors of 1963 and giving, in five digits of the right-hand column, the number of voyages into the lakes each ship has made in the five seasons of 1959 through 1963. In preparing this list, as before, he was principally aided by vessel passages information from the Detroit News and a day-by-day record of passages at Eisenhower Lock furnished through courtesy of Mr. Joseph H. McCann, administrator of Seaway interests for the U. S. Government. George Ayoub again provides our second list, giving changes occurring in 1963 to current and former ocean visitors to the Great Lakes. Unlike our geographically captive lake freighters, these ocean visitors are elusive to account for, and these Seaway lists over the years should provide a remarkably complete record. LIST ONE: 1963 PASSAGES Compiled by Donald Baut Line tender from cruise ship Tadoussac walks past names of ocean ships like La Marea painted on Eisenhower Lock tie-up wall pavement.
