Hey Nigel, it’s pronounced Ta Doo Sack, it’s named after a community on the north shore of Quebec. Nice to see the old beauties still in service. Nice job Nigel. Mark from Ridgeway
That bulging out on the sides was added years after being built to add volume. A couple of Great Lakes ships had it added to them. I watched a documentary on it a few days ago. Great video, cheers 🍻
The small circular loading hatches built in the regular rectangular hatches are a give away to a cement carrier. I don't know if I have ever noticed that on other large lakers. Other lakers I have seen that carried cement were dedicated to that service with only the circular hatches and usually smaller ships. She can still carry other bulk cargos though. that makes her very versatile.
TADA-Sac, named after Quebec town where the Saguenay (sp) River empties into the St. Lawrence. And I think the crew are not allowed to spray down in a harbour or river system. Someone can correct me. Must wait until she's out in the open lake.
Cement is a dirty cargo! She actually spent some time painted all in grey so that the dust wouldn't show so much. She looks better in red (even dirty red). PS- my favourite thing about CSL Tadoussac's design is her twin stacks. They make her look like a racing ship, lol!

They add those blisters on the hull at Port Weller dry docks, not far away.
I miss seeing the “Taddy” on the rivers heading towards Duluth.
Thanks @Lake Erie Vlogger

Thank you for the information on this. It is good to know.
Interesting that both vessels were built in Collingwood within a year or two of each other and yet their sterns are so different.
FRONTENAC was built in Lauzon, Québec.
Now depending on which app or site, it does show Collingwood, but CSL website says Quebec..it confused me too
@@NigelHay yep, i looked at Wiki and it said Collingwood for both

All the cleaning was interior while I was there.
As for the pronunciation. Now I'm even more confused.
I was never any good with French.

What do you call those Freighters with the pilot house in the front like these 2 and the Arthur M Anderson?
"Forward pilothouse" is the technical term, but most people just call em "classics" or "classic style" lakers.
@@RitzBitz96 Thanks, It's a very interesting design
"Front-end Pilot house" classic freighter I think
