Had the privilege of an amazing tour of the Algo-Steel Freighter ship in Port Colborne by our instructor Tom for Transport Canada. Tom is also a Pilot in the Welland Canal and a Fully Qualified Master, and is able to fully Captain these large containers. Really enjoyed learning under him, great teacher!
