The Baie Comeau was the fourth and last lake freighter in Canada Steamship Lines Trillium class. Like her sister ships, the Baie St. Paul, the Thunder Bay, and the Whitefish Bay she was built in China.[1] [2]
She left China on June 30, 2013, arrived in Montreal on August 24.[3] In an inaugural salute to the completion of its first voyage, carrying cargo, Claude Dumais, CSL's vice president of technical operations, presented Christine Brisson, mayor of Baie Comeau, with an 2.4 m (7.87 ft) model of the vessel, which will be displayed in the city's municipal offices.[4]
The Quebec & Ontario Transportation Company launched an earlier vessel named the Baie Comeau in 1954.[5]
