“Weep” No MoreMy Lady f | Cleveland Tankers' venerable ROCKET extended her working life up un- til her final season. She operated during the early part of the year but her rivets were working loose, letting a small amount of oil to seep out continually and in these days of environmental protection, that is simply not to be tolerated. So, off she went to Marine Sal- vage for scrapping but brought a surprising $100,000 compared with the measly $12,000 paid just two years ago for her sister, COMET, This appropriate farewell view of ROCKET was made by Skip Gillham in the Welland Canal.
