The Toronto Star : Canada’s most unusual cruise
Canada’s most unusual cruise by Tim Johnson
… « Pausing for a moment to admire the well-choregraphed off-loading of cargo – the crane built into the side of the ship swinging big, blue containers onto the dock, some of them filled with cars, or building materials, or ice cream, or pretty much anything – the hard-hatted crew works like clockwork, guiding everything into its perfect place. »
Adventure.com : Cargo cruising deep into Canada’s French First Nations territory
Cargo cruising deep into Canada’s French First Nations Territory by Tim Johnson
… « From the first moment, this process fascinates me. Even before we cast lines in Rimouski, I stand on the dock and watch the crane operator, way up there, fitting everything together like a massive game of Tetris.

10 things to love on a cargo cruise through northern Quebec by Jennifer Bain

This is where we stand around at every port waiting for the gangway to be set up so we can get off safely. It’s always fascinating to watch, and a little sad when you take your final trip down the gangway at the end of this fabulously unusual cruise. »
