The ''Pineglen'' is a bulk carrier owned and operated by Canada Steamship Lines.〔 She was built at the Collingwood Shipyards, in Collingwood, Ontario in 1984, to a single superstructure lake freighter design. Unlike more modern lake freighters she was built to a ''"straight-deck"'' design -- ie. she was not equipped with a self-unloading boom. She was built for N.M. Paterson & Sons Limited, and was the last vessel to be built at the Collingwood Shipyards.〔 N.M. Paterson operated her as the ''Paterson'' from her first voyage on June 27, 1985, until March 2002. In 2002 N.M. Paterson sold the ''Paterson'' and the two other vessels in their fleet, the ''Cartierdoc and Mantadoc to Canada Steamship Lines, which renamed her the ''Pineglen'' She is powered by a single diesel engine, which drives a single variable pitch propeller, which can propel her at 15 knots.〔 The vessel has mainly carried grain on eastbound voyages and iron ore on westbound voyages.〔 The Pineglen under the command of Captain Feroze Irani was presented with the ceremonial top hat at Lock 3, for being the first vessel to transit the Welland Canal, the westernmost part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, when it officially opened for its 176th consecutive year of service on May 23, 2005.〔 She was the last vessel to use the St Lawrence Seaway in 2007.〔 She was the first vessel to transit Snell Lock in 2012.〔 ==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「Pineglen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
