Longlac Junior

Canadian List of Shipping 1956: Longlac Junior [C. 190381] registered at Toronto; built at Owen Sound in 1948. 15'3 x 8'5 x 4'5; 4 g.t.; 3 n.t.; 100 hp. Owned by Longlac Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd., Toronto. Canadian List of Shipping 1970: Steel tug Longlac Junior [C.190381] registered at Toronto. Built at Owen Sound in 1948. 14'; 4 g.t.

Longlac Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd. eventually was purchased by Kimberly-Clark Ltd. By 2007, Buchanan owned the Mill in Longlac and therefore owned Pigeon and Glidalong. The mill shop was right beside the Russel Winchboat Pigeon and about two hundred feet from the Glidalong. Longlac boats included a 15' dozer boat named Longlac Junior, winch boats Alec, Glidalong, Grouse, Pigeon and Tauno, apparently only one warping tug Longlac Senior, and full sized tugs Lacalong and Tugalong.
