Enjoy three views of Ocean Echo II with different contexts: the Iroquois Dam,
a scenic late summer meadow, and
the Iroquois lock itself. Click here for pics dating from the dam and lock construction.
A lot of Ocean Group tugs are included here, but Ocean Cormoran is not . . .
Although blue-hulled, VM/S St. Lambert was built for the SLSMC.
Ocean Macareux is a product of GFFM LeClerc, which I visited a few months back, and was on the wall in the old port of Montreal.
And last but not least, Denis M is a 1942 product of Russel Brothers. Here she is on the wall just below Habitat 67.

How many hulls in the water does Ocean have?

Daniel, they have an extremely extensive fleet of tugs and barges scattered around Quebec and eastern Canada, all registered under various different company names. Any number of them could be in or out of the water at any time.

Well, it’s a remarkable fleet.

Thanks for capturing these Will, don’t often see many photos from out that way. The Ocean Cormoran is another Leclerc tug, which are only registered by number in Canada, so the only way I know they exist is by photograph! I will have to add that one to the website.
