"Imperial Collingwood" and "Imperial London", July, 1960.
Imperial Collingwood and Imperial London could both fit in the Eisenhower Lock with ease.
Imperial tankers were always in pristine condition as these photos by the late Phil Damon attest.
There were many canal sized tankers operated by all the oil companies. They worked the Lakes, the St.Lawrence
River and often the Atlantic coast in winter, reaching Halifax, Saint John and even to Newfoundland.
With the opening of St.Lawrence Seaway in 1959, they were so small that they traveled in tandem so as to fill
the lock with two ships.
