GARGANTUA (ex SEAFARER) (Young Photo ) SEAFARER (W) was a wooden hull launched at the McLouth Yard in Marine City, Leia 5 whose contract was cancelled before completion. This hull was then sold t Superior Paper Co., Ltd. of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It was towed to the chisei, Ontario yard of the Toronto Dry Dock Co., where it was completed and renamed GARGANTUA (C. 138277). The engines installed at this time (1923) had been built at Milwaukee by Filer and Stowell Co. GARGANTUA was used mostly on Lake Superior in rafting work by her owners and their successors, Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Ltd., until the late Forties when it was sold to J. F. McColman of Thessalon, Ontario. McColman made little use of the tug, which was officially listed as "Abandoned" in 1952. TOOPI (Author's Collection) =36
