COMMENTS
Rene Garceau (June 20, 2018): Le Rapide Blanc (OC 34), le Henry Sorgius, La Tranche, le Flamand, le Coucoucache, sont les cinq bateaux que je connais. Ces bateaux servant pour la drave sur le St Maurice (St. Maurice River Development Company).
Jean Francois Dussault (June 20, 2018): So far I've worked on six of those. La Trenche, Coocoo, Tamylie D., F. A. Harrison, Henry Sorgius and Mado Ray. They pretty much all have different engines from each other and some are in better shape but all are functional right now. Also La Trenche still has the original engine-driven winch in place, although disconnected. The Harrison had it replaced with a hydraulic one.
