Historical Arrivals for February 9: LEON FRASER
1973: LEON FRASER arrives for winter layup at the Litton Shipyard. The FRASER, of the Pittsburgh Steamship Company, is the latest vessel ever to arrive in Erie for winter layup. The vessel had been running late that year because the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan were kept open for an extended period as part of an Army Corp of Engineers experiment of the viability of winter shipping. This allowed the FRASER and several fleetmates to run between Lake Superior and the lower lakes with iron ore until late in the year.
