Any other night its just docked for dinner. ---

[quote=“Skurge,post:17,topic:32424"”] too bad they are taking it away ☹ I really wanted to check that place out more heh here’s a pic from a few years ago ![http://www.sonikempire.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10026/normal_newcam_250.jpg](http://www.sonikempire.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10026/normal_newcam_250.jpg) [/quote] I’ve seen that place with it’s doors open and they store boats in there! But now that the ship is gone, Its like looking to see a Big ass hole there now but there isn’t one. It was like a Buffalo land mark seeing it there. ---

Wow. Does anyone else see the symbolism of this?!?!? A rusted out boat, sitting near a rusted out steel plant, now being “shipped” over seas to be used where all of the jobs are going? Wow, erie.(Pun intended) ---

Since there still seems to be interest in this, an update: > 7/16 - 10:00 p.m. - The tow is clear of Lock One. > > A decision is to be made at Lock 1 as whether the tugs would change positions below the lock or change in the lake. The Commodore Straights is to take the lead with the Radium Yellowknife trailing. > > The crew reports that the generator on the Aquarama had been returned to service and all the machinery on board was in good shape and a great job of lay up years before had been done. > > A shipyard in Quebec was mentioned as a stop for some survey work and an appraisal on the condition of the hull. ---
