- The downbound ALGOSTEEL is seen below Lock 7, heading towards Lock 6E, Welland Canal, Apr.28, 2014.
For decades, the front-pilothouse laker ALGOSTEEL was a frequent, familiar traveler on the Welland Canal. She was built in 1966, under her original name A.S. GLOSSBRENNER, at the Davie yard in Quebec. Her name was changed to ALGOGULF in 1987, and changed again in 1990 to ALGOSTEEL.
In April 2018 it was announced that ALGOSTEEL was sold and scheduled to be scrapped. By early May 2018, her name was changed to "Oste" for her final tow to Turkey for dismantling. She left Montreal under tow on June 1, 2018, and arrived in Aliaga, Turkey, on Jun.26, 2018.

Thanks for continuing to show us the classic lakers we have lost to 'modernization' in the last decade. The new generation of imported ships just cannot compare IMHO.
I very much doubt the new boats will last 52 years. In many ways the Jones Act is a flawed law, but I do appreciate how it is helping to preserve US flagged classics for now.
Back in the day, and I was on vacation in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I was on a Soo Locks Tour Boat, and the Boat, that I was on went to the Algoma Steel Plant in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. I seen the Algomarine, unloading ore at the Algoma Steel Plant. I, took three pictures of the Algomarine, to this very day and I still have the three pictures of the Algomarine. She, was launched as Lake Manitoba. 6:41
It is VERY coincidental that you happened to mention Algomarine, today, in this video... because oddly enough, I had already pre-scheduled my video releases months ago, and tomorrow's video (set to come out Feb.28, 2024) is a video OF Algomarine, which I had made in 2015 but have just got around to posting now!!!!!
That is quite a coincidence, I must say!!!! wow
