I was out visiting my Mother today and heard there was almost a natural disaster in the St. Lawrence River near Morrisburg. A laker carrying chemicals went aground last Tuesday. They had to bring in 2 tug boats to pull the Chem Norma off the shoal there. I was able to get a picture of it today on my way home. Fortunately it was upright and no chemical was spilled in the channel.

Yeah, it got grounded on one of the old Alcoa sand bars. It was loaded with petroleum too. They spent days trying to tug it out. They had more than two tug boats. They had several working on it for days until they brought in two more especially big tug boats in from Canada.
