| History | First register issued at Collingwood, Ontario, June 22, 1982.As ATLANTIC SUPERIOR: Ran aground early on the morning of September 29, 1982 in the American Narrows section of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The ship was refloated October 1, after 2,000 of the 23,000 metric ton cargo of Canadian wheat was offloaded onto the McAllister barge MARBLEHEATH. Fog and currents are being cited as the cause of the grounding which resulted in the damage to the vessel's forward section. One crewman suffered major burns in a flash methane fire at Port Hawkesbury, N.S. on June 24, 1984. Grounded on Oct. 5 at Sines, Portugal, and had to be dry-docked at Setubal.
