A heartfelt thank you to the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority, Harbour West Marina, and their skilled marine team for hauling Pathfinder out yesterday morning!

The 80 ton travel lift at Harbour West makes it one of the few marinas on the Great Lakes that can haul out vessels of this size.

Being hauled out of the water will enable Pathfinder to undergo an inspection of her hull & machinery this year. As a commercial vessel, this is a process which must take place every 5 years. Stay tuned to see even more of the ship come apart!

A huge thank you to Paul and J. Noble Crane Services for once again donating their time and machinery to remove our lowe...
