Thus endeth the lay-up listings for 1998-1999. * * * * * MOHAWK DEER ONE MORE TIME We had space on this month's photopage, so we could not resist running a photo which very clearly illustrates the unusual hull shape of MOHAWK DEER. Furnished through the courtesy of Ken Hillyer, it shows the DEER at the Owen Sound elevator and it can be seen that her hull did not lie flush along the wharf, but rather touched it only amidships. Skip Gillham has brought to our attention the fact that MOHAWK DEER was the first upper laker to transit the new St. Lawrence Seaway when it opened on April 25, 1959, and she was the sixth downbound ship at Iroquois that day. She was preceded downbound by the canallers HUMBERDOC, WEYBURN, WILLIAM C. WARREN, F. V. MASSEY and REDWOOD. And to end, a mystery. A June 11, 1896 report said that Dr. George W. Roby stood both to win and lose on the L. C. WALDO - CHOCTAW collision, as he was interested in both ships. How was Roby connected with the Lake Superior Iron Company, owner of CHOCTAW? * * * * *
