Louis R. Desmarais

CSL's Louis R. Desmarais--now known as CSL Laurentian--northbound on the St. Clair River at Port Huron, Michigan, in June of 1999. The old Blue Water Bridge is in the background, and the new bridge is under construction just to the north.

Yes, she was bright red. There's enough paint scraped off that hull to cover a small house. Mine, for instance.

The name change was concurrent with a major rebuild; Laurentian has a very different bow, and hardly looks like the same ship. I liked this version better, but my opinion really doesn't matter.
