Last Voyage of the Mississagi to be retired and Scrapped
In late 2019, it was announced that the Mississagi would be retired after the 2020 season. She was to be replaced by the AAA-Class ship American Valor which was recently purchased by Lower Lakes Towing. She sailed her final voyage from Thunder Bay, ON, to Hamilton, ON, with a load of grain, arriving on January 7, 2021. In April 2021, she sailed to Sarnia, ON, where she was stripped of still-usable parts over the spring and summer. Mississagi was sold for scrapping in October and towed to Sault Ste. Marie, ON, by the tug Anglian Lady on October 8, 2021, arriving at the Purvis Marine scrapyard on October 10.
