''Stephen B. Roman'' is a Canadian bulk carrier operating on the Great Lakes.〔 〕 She carries dry cement to Great Lakes ports, and is named after prominent Canadian mining engineer Stephen Boleslav Roman. She was originally launched on April 24, 1965, as ''Fort William'', a package freighter carrying ore pellets for the Canadian Steamship Lines.〔 She capsized on September 14, 1965, due to human error when unloading, and her lower holds were emptied, while her upper decks were heavily loaded. After she capsized aerosolized calcium chloride powder exploded when exposed to water. Five sailors lost their lives. The vessel was salvaged and restored to service in May 1966. She collided with ''Paul L. Tietjen'' on August 10, 1967.〔 The vessel was purchased in 1982 by the Lake Ontario Cement Company, now ESSROC Canada, which renamed her ''Stephen B. Roman'' after converting her to a self-unloading cement carrier.〔 ==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「Stephen B. Roman (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
