] v SORRY TO SEE YOU GO, Cont'd. Sarnia at one time consisted almost entirely of canal-sized ships. Barges, the size of regular freighters, too, were a common sight along the Lakes. One of the last of this type was the C.S.BAND. From the turn of the century, up to the late fifties, many bulk freighters towed a barge behind them. The Pittsburgh SS. Co., the Hutchinson fleets on the American side were prominent in the use of these barges. Tugs were also used to tow the huge bulk barges, many of them in the coal and pulp wood trades.
