The recent return to service of the former Mantadoc, under the name Maritime Trader, has generated much interest in this vessel. Mantadoc was built as Hull #187 and launched at Collingwood Shipyards on November 23, 1966, just six months after her Keel Laying ceremony. The following are apparent shipyard photos from the Great Lakes Marine Archives courtesy of Dave Benedet. More pictures will be added as they are received. A complete history of the vessel is available at Maritime Trader. |
