Aft of her booms at number 2 hold you can see two tall poles standing on either side of the doghouse. These were floodlights to illuminate the deck which were removed around 1996-97. In any kind of sea state they would bend and wave back and forth severely and the officers feared they'd snap off and hurt somebody or cause damage.

I'm quite certain this is a René Beauchamp slide taken when she was arriving in Montreal for the night after a harrowing transit (because of heavy ice and a Coast Guard strike) in the Seaway from Sturgeon Bay where she as the former MORMACTIDE had been rebuilt as a training ship for SUNY.
I photgraphed her the next morning at Verchères (Dec.24, 1989) on her way downriver. She was making so much smoke that I thought she was a coal burner.
I think I will scan one of my slides to give you an inkling of that moment.
