Algoma Provider

As I was walking past the ship, someone parked his car near the bow, providing scale to this monster.

 

Historical note: Launched as the "Murray Bay" from the Collingwood shipyards in 1963, the Algoma Provider is powered by a John Inglis 9,000 s.h.p. (6,620 kw) cross-compound steam turbine engine with 2 Babcock & Wilcox water tube boilers fueled by heavy fuel oil.
