Today in Great Lakes shipping history. June 20th.
Seaway Queen nears completion in 1959.
Seaway Queen Captain Frank D. Harpell
1959: On June 20, 1959, the SEAWAY QUEEN began her maiden voyage. The vessel was appropriately named, as at the time she was the largest Canadian vessel on the Great Lakes, the 2nd largest on the Great Lakes overall (behind the EDMUND FITZGERALD), and she entered service the same week that Queen Elizabeth II and President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally dedicated the St. Lawrence Seaway. She was one of the more popular and classic looking vessels on the Great Lakes.

A veteran of the Waitematā.
While waiting for M/V Vasco da Gama to depart, I spied a very rusty tug boat on its way back to Tryphena.
As it turns out, Golden Rose was launched in 1964 and has been under sail since.
I'm unsure who it was new to, but it currently runs between Tāmaki Makaurau, Tryphena (Aotea / Great Barrier Island), and Rakino Island delivering vital supplies to the islands.
Golden Rose is home-ported at Tryphena and is powered by a GM-Detroit Diesel 12v71 engine.

Possibly from January 1, 1975, or perhaps published a day early on December 31, 1974 (The Citizen was usually released on Wednesday I believe), this cover image features a painting of a Seaspan Tug by marine artist John M. Horton. I believe the illustrated map of Vancouver was also from the same issue, though I'm not certain; I only saw a reprinted copy of this paper, from the estate of Michael Brown. Michael Brown was a longtime resident of Vancouver, a longshoreman, and a passionate collector of all things transportation related, focusing on commercial aviation, as well as the golden age of Hollywood. From his obit:
His heart had no bounds. He spent many years on the waterfront and his love and knowledge of his city and the Port of Vancouver was vast and palpable through his vivid descriptions and amazing photographs. His interests went far beyond the port to historical depictions of the evolution of transportation - from "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" to the elegant ships of days gone by. Mike was a great storyteller and could entertain friends and family for hours. He loved animals, devoting his time to comforting rescued kittens and cats at his favourite shelter in North Vancouver. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. God speed your passing, Mike.

Today in Great Lakes shipping history. June 9th.
1900: TASHMOO (steel side-wheel excursion steamer, 308 foot, 1,344 gross tons, built in 1900, at Wyandotte, Michigan) hosted Admiral George Dewey on her inaugural trip from Cleveland, Ohio, to Detroit, Michigan, on 09 June 1900. Admiral Dewey had just returned from his conquest of the Philippines during the Spanish American War and was a national hero. TASHMOO entered regular service for the White Star Line two days later.
1909: ASSINIBOIA and CRESCENT CITY were washed through the Canadian Lock at Sault Ste. Marie when the upbound PERRY G. WALKER struck the lower gate. All three ships were damaged but were repaired and returned to service.
1938: The GOVERNOR MILLER (Hull#810) a sister ship to the WILLIAM A. IRVIN, began her maiden voyage, leaving Lorain, Ohio. The GOVERNOR MILLER was only the second Great Lakes vessel to be powered by a steam turbine with a direct drive to the propeller shaft via reduction gear.
1963: The newly built SILVER ISLE of Mohawk Navigation and the PRINS ALEXANDER of the Oranje Line, collided in fog and rain on the St. Lawrence near Kingston. Both ships required repairs.
1979: The French freighter MELUSINE first came to the Great Lakes in 1962 and returned as b) LENA in 1978. It sank the French fishing vessel ANTIOCHE III in the English Channel with the loss of 4 lives on this day in 1979. LENA was scrapped at Ferrol, Spain, in 1982, after suffering engine damage on a voyage from Bilbao, Spain, to Detroit.
2023: The sun rises over Lake Superior as Mesabi Miner arrives to load ore.
