Boland and Cornelius Fleet 1973

[Guest]

I dug out my 1973 edition of Know Your Ships (Roger Blough on the front cover). It lists the following vessels (all self-unloaders) under American Steamship Company - Boland & Cornelius Manager:

Adam E. Cornelius (1959)
Ben W. Calvin (1911)
Charles C. West (1925)
Charles E. Wilson (1973)
Consumers Power (1927)
Detroit Edison (1955)
Diamond Alkali (1917)
Fred A. Manske (1909)
H. Lee White (1945)
Harris N. Snyder (1907)
Hennepin (1905)
J.F. Schoellkopf, Jr. (1909)
John A. Kling (1922)
John J. Boland (1953)
John T. Hutchinson (1943)
Joseph S. Young (1907)
McKee Sons (1945)
Nicolet (1905)
Roger M. Kyes (1973)

You could try several possibilities. If you can find a copy of the 1973 Know Your Ships book for starters or try contacting its current editor and publisher Roger LeLievre as he I’m sure could help you out! Other ideas would be to try and contact some of the various Marine Historical Societies such as in Detroit or Toronto. They may have copies of fleet lists from 1973 that may help answer your question on the Boland & Cornelius fleet from the 1973 year. Finally, IF you can somehow try to find a Lay Up list for the Winter of 1973/74, that should also give you a listing of the ships in their fleet. At least the ones that sailed during the 1973 shipping season then. Hope that my information was helpful to you then. Good Luck and hope you find what you’re looking for and get the answers to your questions then.

What info do you want? A specific vessel? Try old copies of the telescope or the scanner. Or email the company.
