A A Augustus


Since there are no ships moving (at least in the Upper Lakes area), there's not a lot to write about other than withdrawal.  :o)  Posting a scanned postcard, the AAAugustus at the Soo Locks.  Obviously a very old card.   Ice has the lakes pretty well shut down right now, other than those few ships bringing salt or fuel.  Opening day of the locks is March 25.  Two months away!

Is that boat still around?

Launched in 1909, the Augustus was scrapped in Spain in 1969.
