In the name of Progress

My first trip down to the Lachine Canal is also a chance to see what vessels are berthed in the Old Port of Montreal.

I took a couple of pictures of the Federal Progress as Boatnerd had a report that it was sold to Canada Steamship Lines.

A couple of hours later on my way back home I was surprised to see just how fast a ship can change owners, names and flags of registry!

For some reason, Boatnerd has removed its report of the sale from its website. Perhaps they got their information wrong. 

But, then again, everything about this change seems to be happening quickly. Look again at the Panamanian flag on the stern; it's upside down!
