| The Algolake was built in 1977 by Collingwood Shipyards at Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. She is 730 long and has 23 hatches on her deck that open into 5 cargo holds. She has a 250-foot self-unloading boom on her deck. That, along with a system of conveyor belts beneath her cargo holds, allows the ship to unload her cargo without using equipment from the shore. She was the first Algoma ship with all her superstructure, meaning the cabins and pilothouse, in the rear (aft) of the ship. Before this, their ships had the pilothouse forward. |
