Ship ALGOSTEEL Downbound below Lock 7, Welland Canal (2014)

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.
