She was rechristened ALGOSOO in 1936, the name she carried until her sale last fall for dismantling. Algoma offi- cials estimate she travelled nearly 2,000,000 miles and carried more than 14,000,000 net tons since acquired by Algoma 52 years agoe This photo was taken Nove 24 on her last upbound passage through the Canadian Soo. She loaded grain at the Lakehead for Sorel, passing down in the Welland Canal Dec. 4. On her final downbound run in Lake Super- ior, she was in trouble off Whitefish Point in heavy weather when her cargo shifted. The U. S. Coast Guard cutter NAUGATUCK was dispatched from the Soo to aid her. She will likely be towed to European breakers next season. She concluded her service for Algoma about a month after they took delivery of the motorship ROY A. JODREY (See cover story). Bill Luke
