The ship scraped bottom during her visit to Sault Sainte
Marie, sustaining no damage. Return visits October 5 and 16
depend on dredging to remove high spots near the dock face. The
high spots, probably caused by sedimentation and wave action, need to
be reduced 7 inches in order to accommodate the 17 feet required by the
Columbus. (Subsequent visits were cancelled.)
