Midland Prince

Midland Prince
Unlike most of Mr. Borucki's prints, there's no explanatory note on the back of this photo. I'm guessing it dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s; I'm not guessing about the location. If someone has ideas, feel free to contribute.

Collingwood Shipyard's hull no. 9, launched December 5, 1906 (many sources have a 1907 launch date) for the Midland Navigation Company, which would be absorbed into CSL in 1913 after a stint under another name. At the time of its launch, Midland Prince was Canada's largest laker. This ship had a major fire in 1925. After repairs which included a self-unloader conversion it was relaunched in 1929. Retired from service after the 1967 season; broken up in 1969.
