NHIPS THAT NEVER DIE-No.168 YANKCANUCK Q) (C.170256) Composite canaller built in 1889 by the Detroit Dry Dock Co. at Wyandotte, Mich., as (US 92087) HULL #91 at 256.9 x 42 x 20, 1778 g.t. for the Inter Ocean Steamship Co., of Milwaukee as MANCHESTER . A composite freighter was built with iron frames and wooden planking with an iron keel. In 1898 she was sold to the Milwaukee Western Steamship Co., operated by Sullivan. In 1921 she was renamed JOSEPH W. SIMPSON. From 1922 until 1938 she served various American fleets. In 1938 she was sold Canadian and renamed MINDEMOYA in 1959. During the war years she served her Cana- dian owners on the lakes. After hostilities, in 1946, she was sold to Capt. Manzutti and renamed YANKCANUCK (1). She made a small for- tune for Capt. Nanzutti, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and soon outgrew her usefulness. She was old and in need of repairs so she was des— tined for the scrapyard. In the meantime, Capt. Manzutti acquired two other canallers, MANCOX and MANZUTTI, to augment his fleet and ordered a new canaller to take the place of the venerable YANKCANUCK which had served him so well he named the new boat YANKCANUCK (ii) to honor her. The old MANCHESTER was then scrapped at Sault Ste. Marie in 1959. Seventy years of service for a grand old lady of the lakes surely deserves a mention. - The Rev.
