She was built for salt water and Great Lakes work, allowing the ship to work the oceans during the two months of winter when the Great Lakes are closed. The first ocean trip (after the initial trip from Scotland) left Duluth on November 14, 1983 for France. She visited Duluth many times after that as the Lady Hamilton. From 2006 to 2008, she was the Voyageur Pioneer. In 2008, she was sold again and visited Duluth in September of that year as the Kaministiqua. Picture above taken Thursday, September 11, 2008.
