At a time when the Seaway and the Great Lakes are trying hard to attract container ship operators with their H2O project, there was a period in the 70s when Manchester Liners were sending their own container ships to the Lakes as being witnessed by this May 1975 view of the 1969-built Manchester Concorde downbound in the Seaway near Montréal with a load of boxes. |
