Algorail

Launched in 1967 by Algoma Central Corporation, the Algorail is one of the last remaining self-unloading bulk carriers constructed in a two-superstructure style, with a bridge at the bow.

All hazardous materials, salvageable equipment and memorabilia were removed from the Algorail. The ship was dismantled, and the materials recycled.

Work on the Alograil began in March 2017 and was completed December 2017.
