Captain Lorenzen has been in frequent contact with Captain Miles of the Pride of Baltimore II, and also with Captain Watson of Bluenose II. Ships, including tall ships and foreign flagged ships, entering the St Lawrence Seaway are required to undergo an inspection by Transport Canada or the US Coastguard and to save some time all three ships will meet up at the anchorage for their inspection together.
HMCS Oriole passed us late this morning. Nao Santa Maria was alongside an industrial dock when we came in but has since entered the Seaway.
