The Canadian flagged Algoisle was built in 1963 in Cork, Ireland. Since then, she sailed on many bodies of water, under a variety of names and  owners. In 1994, she was purchased by Algoma Central. In October, 2010, she was towed from Montreal, where she had been laid up since the previous December, to a scrap yard in Aliaga, Turkey. |
She had more than her fair share of collisions and groundings over the years, The most recent one occurred in 1991 when sailing under the name Silver Isle, she collided with an Algerian ship in the St. Lawrence River and received major damage, including a 130 foot gash in her bow.
She was an infrequent visitor to the Twin Ports, coming here only 21 times between 1996 and her last visit in July, 2009. As of April, 2011, Algoma Central lists her as not in service. |
