Tall Ship: Empirre Sandy
I took this picture at the Canal Days Festival in Port Colborne, Ontario
(Aug 3, 2008). I had been on a diiner cruise on this ship earlier this year (June). It is one fine ship. It is the largest tallship in Canada. In thios picture, you can see a puff of smoke. They fired a cannon at the crowd  It was a spectacular. Too bad my camera did not get the cannon flash. André Blanchard |

Tall Ship: Empirre Sandy
Hi Andre, An amazing transformation from a war time ocean going tug which started life in the service of the Ministry of War Transport. I vividly recall her sister, Empire John, (same dimensions, same shipyard, same year 1943) which was the harbour tug owned by DOSCO at Sydney, Nova Scotia in the 1960s. Every time my ship (Charlton Mira) docked at Sydney it was Empire John which assisted. Empire John was scrapped in Spain approx 1967. Regards, Tuppence |

That is very interesting Tuppence. Do you happen to have a picture of the
Empire John? Andre Blanchard "Tuppence" wrote in message ... Hi Andre, An amazing transformation from a war time ocean going tug which started life in the service of the Ministry of War Transport.

Hi Andre, Unfortunately I do not have any photo of Empire John - I was not very photo minded in the sixties. I do recall that she was then still registered at Newcastle upon Tyne (North-East coast of England) and flew the Red Duster. Regards, Tuppence |
