[edit intro]

The Algosteel passes under the Blue Water Bridges.

Algosteel is a bulk carrier currently owned an operated by Algoma Central.^[1] She was built in 1966 in the traditional lake freighter two superstructure design, with her bridge and officer quarters on a superstructure in her bows. Originally, her holds needed to be unloaded by shore facilities. Her first owner was the Labrador Steamship Company, who commissioned her as the A.S. Glossbrenner. She was then mainly employed carrying iron ore from Labrador and from the Gulf of St Lawrence to US steel-making ports, on the great lakes. Her return cargos would be grain.

In 1971 she was sold to Algoma Central.^[1] In 1987 she was renamed Algogulf. In 1990 Algoma Central renamed her Algosteel, after a refit where she was equipped with a large boom and internal conveyor belts and elevators, so she could unload her cargo without relying on shore facilities.
