h.m.k.

Allan,

Thanks for your reply. I was looking for some information about this ship for years and was about to give up hope.

Saw this one burn, capsize and be salvaged in Montréal as well as witnessing the ship being towed up the Seaway. What surprises me here is that she seems in this shot to be taking on water as she is pretty low although still on an even keel.

Renaud,

The IMO number is correct for this one. The large full-rigger posted by Tomasello should be 8712178

Allan

Thanks for the posting. I was looking for the name of this ship wich I saw in Montréal harbor when I was young. But I think the IMO may be wrong because is refers to a big sailing ship.
