Hero Class #4 – CCGS Constable Carrière rolled out for Paint

The CCGS Corporal Teather C.V. Tarped to protect from over spray.

The 4th Hero Class vessel, the CCGS Constable Carrière, was rolled out today to be painted This weekend.

 From DFO:

 “Constable J.L. François Carrière, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Constable Carrière died on November 30, 1997, while conducting an underwater search of a vessel believed to be smuggling illegal drugs.”

Province of Nova Scotia Sued over Bluenose

As reported in todays Chronicle Herald, The Roue Family has filed a copyright suit against the Province of NS. Should Be an interesting case, since this incaration of the Bluenose II is a new Build. The Bluenose I was Designed By William Roue. Roue gave his blessing for the Bluenose II, and while not identical, It was based on Roue’s Original Plans. The Current Bluenose was built from modern drawings drawn up by naval architects in Dartmouth. I suspect the case will come down to how much of the new drawings design is original. if the naval Architects worked from a set of Roue Plans, then there may be a case. if its a straight up Lookalike, then perhaps not so much.

The container ship Teval at halterm today. working for the Melfi Line, she runs supplies from Canada and Europe to Cuba. More rare, is the use of the 4th container crane, as the other 2 are working the Zim   Beijing behind.
