Additional NotesThis class of Canadian built ships of which 5 were purchased by Union Company were hardly suitable for the types of timber cargoes which formed the main southbound cargo from Pacific Coast ports of North America. Competition from smaller modern ships cut into their cargo volumes until the last one, WAITEMATA was sold in 1967. Last edited by: John Brown
