BULLHORN At Quebec, GASPEDOC has been re- named but her new name is not CHESTERFIELD as reported here last month. CHESTERFIELD is ra- ther the former Department of Transport steamer laid up beside her. We are unable to learn GAS- PEDOC's new name. The Cleveland Plain Dealer re- ported the sale of the ITS OF MACKINAC to Harold Harding of Cleveland who is quoted as say= ing that she would be in excur- sion service on the Great Lakes next summer. However, a late, unconfirmed, report now says the deal has fallen through. A section of the abandoned Led- erer Dock at Cleveland collapsed on Sept. 9. Our older members will remember this as the D&C- C&B dock of years gone by. The former Lakes' tug KAM has been renamed GULF IVY. She is now owned by Puerto Petroleum Carriers, Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. BAYSHELL (a. JUSTINE C. ALLEN) has reportedly arrived safely in Greece and is presumably in ser= vice over there. A published report says that C.- S.L.'s WHITEFISH BAY is to be converted to a_ self-unloader this winter. Built in 1909 at fFerrysburg, Mich., as the passenger steamer MACKINAC, the East Coast freight vessel WOONSOCKET has been re- built as a training vessel for the SIU Seamanship School at Piney Point, Md. She has been renamed CLAUDE "SONNY" SIMMONS.

EVERETTON was the last of the once-great Bradley fleet while DUNLAP was the first 600-footer as well as the newest Laker ever to be sent to the scrapyard. On Aug. 21 the Polish tug JANTAR towed CAPTAIN C. D. ei (a. HARLES R. VAN HISH, b. A. R. SCHNEIDER, c.S. B. WAY) and “BRIe COLDOG (a. JAMES H. HOYT) from Quebec, bound for Surope.
