Mighty useful. Make no mistake, I appreacite it.

This ship sat in Windsor for almost a acddee. It was in the docks just south of the Ambassador bridge, right next to windmill park. As a kid I was on the boat. A friend of my father owned a scrap company that was given the contract to begin scrapping it.When I saw it the outside was still in the same shape as in the pictures (maybe a little better) But they pulled all the copper, brass, aluminium and large sections of the floor and steel support beams were cut out for scrap value in Windsor. They also removed all the engines and several large Cast iron brackets? I still have the green metal deck benches from this ship in my garage. They were wire mesh tops and steel tubing. They were about 14ft long. I know the hull was then sold in the early 90s. I remember watching the boat get towed out of Windsor. I was told at the time it was sold overseas for scrap. My understanding at the time was that the whole lower decks were coated in asbestos, and there was other problems. The scrapper in Windsor could not use his torches below a certain deck and there where several inspections made and lots of paperwork. I also know that there was some court filings/ legal disputes about who actually owned the ship at that time. It's sad to see her gone. It was such a large and magestic ship. It made such a wonderous impression on me. I was about 12 years old at the time, but the history the ship has seen definately left an impression on me. I wish they would have gone with some of the other ideas at the time of what to do with her. She would have made an awsome floating museum, or a hotel.
