The ''Atlantic Superior'' is freighter owned and operated by Canada Steamship Lines (CSL).〔 〕 The ''Atlantic Superior'', constructed in 1982, was the first self-unloading vessel designed, for ocean service, built for CSL.〔 〕 On September 30, 1982, her first year of service, the vessel ran aground, on Seven Isle Shoal, in the lower reaches of the St. Lawrence River.〔 〕 She ran aground at 4 am in foggy conditions.〔 〕 She was carrying a load of wheat from Thunder Bay, Ontario. 2000 tons of wheat had to be removed before three tugs were able to free her from the shoal on October 1, 1982. In 1994 CSL shifted the vessel to the Pacific Ocean.〔 In 1997 the vessel was moved back to the Atlantic Ocean, was renamed the ''M.H. Baker III'', and started operating for the National Gypsum Company. CSL continued to own the vessel, and operated it on behalf of National Gypsum under a long term contract. She was renamed ''Atlantic Superior'' in 2003, and CSL operated her on the Great Lakes for several years. CSL now operates her largely on the Atlantic Ocean again.〔 〕 But she still makes voyages on the Great Lakes.〔 〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atlantic Superior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
