Their 5-month-old 730-foot motorship LAWRENCECLIFFE HALL ii was struck on her’ starboard side by the British-flag SUNEK of Saguenay Shipping Nove 16 off the Isle of Orleans below Quebec City. The collision occurred in a snowstorm accompanied by foge The handsome new Halco bulker, enroute from Port Car- tier with ore for Conneaut, settled in 35 feet of water and is reported resting nearly fully on her starboard side. The lateness of the season, coupled with her loaded condition, would appear to make her immediate salvage most difficult. It will be recalled that Hall's 3-year-old LEE- CLIFFE HALL ii sank 65 miles below Quebec City in September, 1964, fol- lowing collision with the Greek-flag Apollonia. She is reportedly to be blown upe The U.S.Corps of Engineers' derric(l barge HURON foundered north of Toleds in heavy weather Nove 17 while under tow of the tug AU SABLE.
