Marine Adder What the C-4's like the Aquarama, McKee Sons, and Joseph H Thompson looked like before they were converted to lake ships. I found an old WW 2 era shot of USS Marine Adder showing the original shape of the C-4 Class ship as built. Check out all of the Adder's empty gun tubs-I'd guess this shot must have been taken after the war or some time before or during the Korean war since all her AA equipment is gone but they haven't gotten around to removing the gun decks & tubs yet.	Aquarama In the case of the Aquarama you can clearly see that they cut down her bow & stern combing and reversed the shape of the curve of the front deckline where it drops at the mid-ship's area to smooth out her lines. It's also interesting to see the original placement of her stack where the stern uptake is now and the original forward mounted pilothouse.	Canadiana steaming up the creek, in Buffalo, past the old DL&W Coal Dumper, now the site of the Erie Basin. She's on her way back from Crystal Beach and looks to be fully loaded with passengers. Date-unknown.
