Nice photo, Jeff!!
Taken in the Welland Canal?
I remember when all the Meisner boats had a black hull rather than the blue hull which became so popular in their later years.
Seems to me that when the Ralph Meisner came out with that monstrous self-unloading device on its deck, they had the hull painted blue and that may have "started it".
Mr. Meisner spoke at one of our Marine Historical dinners and told about the history of his steamship line and , sadly, of it's demise, too.

Hi Rock,
Thanks for the identification and information. Jeff's picture does indeed show the Scott Misener in the Welland Canal. See more pictures of the Scott Misener as well as other ships at Jeff's great site located here: http://www.wellandcanal.ca
