Welland Canal
Salties
Bluewing
Bluewing is a new saltie, built in Japan, registered in Cyprus, with a Ukrainian crew.
She is one of a group of ships built specifically for trade into the Great Lakes,
sized to just fit through the Welland locks.
The painted propeller symbols imply that she has both bow and stern thrusters.
