Built in 1951, this 663-foot ship has spent most of its years on Lake Ontario near Toronto. Named after James Norris, an original owner of Upper Lakes Shipping, the Norris would become property of an already large Algoma Corporation fleet this past spring, which would lead to her retirement. The ships stack markings never transitioned this season from the Upper Lakes diamond to the Algoma bear.
Heavy in the limestone trade, Norris made its final voyage just a few weeks ago and then proceeded to Port Colborne for lay-up. It is here where scrapping will likely occur, though a time frame has not be announced.
Though the ship made trips through the 1000 Islands over the course of its career, they were few and far between.
