On the Great Lakes ships are called boats despite the fact that
some of them are well over 1000' in length.
Most of my photos of lake freighters come from Goderich Ontario
Canada.

Tugs Helping the Mantadoc into the inner harbour at Goderich
(note: Mantadoc became the Teakglen, was laid up in Goderich
for grain storage, and was sold and is still in operation).
P & H's Mapleglen shows off her beautiful stern section.
This boat is a straight decker working the grain trade.
(Note: as of 8/2003 the Mapleglen and Oakglen are out
of service and are about to be towed to Turkey to be scrapped).
The Canadian Transport shares the small channel with pleasure
boats on a hot summer day in Goderich.
