That's a Wrap... Season Over

The clock struck midnight and the 2011 shipping season along the St. Lawrence Seaway officially came to a close.

This season saw a spike in tonnage, which many hope will begin a trend of better days for the North American economy.

In addition, the Seaway season brought some interesting stories in 2011.

- A strike was avoided between SLSMC and union workers
- Unbalanced water levels
- Ships aground early in the season
- Tall ships in Clayton
- Submarines towed upbound for scrapping
- More yachts
- No ice to start the season; little-to-no snow at the end

Look for a complete recap in the upcoming issue of Thousand Islands Life.

Thanks for reading this season and stay tuned throughout the winter on news and information regarding the Seaway and the second-annual Sailing Seaway Clayton event.

Happy new year. May this year have great things ahead for The Ship Watcher. It's nice that there's not as much ice this year.
