Description
In July of 1977 the Louis R. Desmarais was launched for the Canada Steamship Lines. One of her functions was to load coal and then transfer it to an ocean-going vessel for transport overseas.
In 1979 she spotted the Cartiercliffe Hall which was burning on Lake Superior and rendered assistance in rescuing survivors. Twenty years later, an engine room fire broke out in her engine room. Although a Mayday was sent, her crew was able to contain and fire and put it out with no reported injuries.
At the end of the 2000 shipping season she underwent a conversion to a Seawaymax sized ship. This is the largest a ship can be and still use the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Specifications for Seawaymax are 740 feet in length, 78 foot beam and a draft of 26.51 feet.
To accomplish the conversion, the forward section was removed and a new bow was connected to the stern section of the Desmarais. When she was launched in 2001, she was rechristened the CSL Laurentien.
The new ship has 739 feet, 10 inches long and has a beam of 78 feet and is capable of carrying 37,797 tons of cargo.
Here, the downbound CSL Laurentien passes Algonac State Park.
