It was constructed by Canadian Vickers Ltd out of Montreal and owned by the Canadian National Railways. The ship was commissioned in 1955. It was forced to use the Argentia port for the first three years of its operation while Port-Aux-Basques redesigned their docking stations to accommodate her massive size. In 1976, she was recomissioned to seasonal Labrador service operating between Lewisporte and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. |
