Many thanks Alain, a vessel built & registered in my birthplace, Gijon. According to my files this is her first and only visit to the Lakes under this name. The voyage began on 17 Sept 1986 in Aqaba, Jordania, from where she sailed in ballast to Swansea & Workington, UK, to load steel for Montreal & Hamilton, ON, then Sarnia & Montreal to load grain for Foynes, Ireland, where she arrived on 17 November 1986.

Hi Jose Luis.. Thats fantastic detail regarding her voyage into the lakes so many years ago.. A new photo of her under the name LUX CREATOR was just added to the site last night.. Do you have extensive files on ship voyages over the years..?
