The Sleeping Giant is a formation of mesas and sills on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. As one moves southward along the shoreline toward Squaw Bay the Sleeping Giant starts to separate into its various sections. Most distinctly in the view from the cliffs at Squaw Bay the Giant appears to have an Adam's Apple. The formation is part of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Its dramatic steep cliffs are among the highest in Ontario (250 m). The southernmost point is known as Thunder Cape, depicted by many early Canadian artists such as William Armstrong.
One Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine now known as Silver Islet was disclosed to white men.[3]
TECUMSEH (IMO: 7225855) is a Bulk Carrier that was built in 1973 (47 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Canada.
It’s carrying capacity is 29984 t DWT and her current draught is reported to be 8.4 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 195.38 meters and her width is 23.78 meters.

The Tecumseh decommissioned after Engine room Fire on December 15, 2019
According to a Monday media release, the U.S. Coast Guard responded on Sunday to an engine room fire that began on the Canadian cargo vessel Tecumseh.
It happened at approximately 2 p.m., while the 195-metre boat was near Zug Island on the American side of the Detroit River.
The Coast Guard diverted its Bristol Bay vessel to the scene. A separate boat and a helicopter were used to assess the situation.
The Tecumseh eventually drifted into Canadian waters, where a firefighting team boarded and extinguished the blaze overnight Sunday, after all of the Tecumseh's 16 crew members disembarked and were evaluated by local EMS.
