The other case of parbuckling that comes to mind involves the recovery of the Lawrencecliffe Hall(ii) that was beached on Ile d'Orleans in November 1965 following a collision with Saguenay Terminals' Sunek. Grounded in sinking condition, a rising tide had rolled the ship onto her starboard bilges, 64 degrees off even keel. A salvage plan was devised by Marine Industries' Salvage Master Paul DuTremble, and using a complex of cables and pulleys the ship was slowly righted over the winter by a battalion of bulldozers stationed on the shore. In March 1966, the refloated -- though still partially tidal -- Lawrence was towed to Davie Shipbuilding, where repairs and refit were carried out over the next six months.
