Great Lakes steamer Montrealais at St. Clair, MI. Photo by Terry Buel., 1980. On 25 June 1980 Montrealais collided with Algobay in the St. Clair River in dense fog at 05:08 while transiting in opposite directions. Both ships suffered severe damage to their bows as a result of the collision. No crewmembers were injured in the collision, but some oil was spilled into the St. Clair River. As a result, the shipping channel was closed until 07:30. Montrealais required over $1.5 million CAD in repairs.
