In collision with Papachristidis' 27484dwt Canadian-flag bulker PETITE HERMINE near Prescott, Ont on 7 December 1969 in thick fog. Here being towed to Canadian Vickers at Montreal for repairs.

Before Farquharson she was owned by Imperial Oil which bought up Texaco Canada assets which the Texaco Chief was part of. It originally was built for Yankcanuck Steamship lines in 1968 but but when the plans were presented for approval it was turned down. Texaco Canada Don Mills redesigned the hull and Launched it April 10 1969. I was the oilier in 1972.

If I'm not mistaken, that is now Algoma Tankers' Algonova which also sailed under Soconav as A.G. FARQUHARSON before that.

Does anyone know how this mishap came to be?

Nice scan.
