1962 - Ship capsized in Detroit River under Ambassador - also gas storage tanks?
I was scanning some slides my father took which were developed in 1962, these 2 show a ship being righted in the Detroit River under the Ambassador and also a pair of gasometer style storage tanks plus smoke stacks near the bridge, anyone out there have any info on the name of the ship?
Were were the gas tanks [[if that's what they were) and smoke stacks? Was there a power plant there?
Final one is a hazy shot of downtown, sorry for the quality

Photo from the Canadian side, from the Bob-Lo boat
My grandmother took photos from the Bob-Lo boat of the Montrose and one was used in a TV news report as they couldn't find any [[quickly, at least) taken from the Canadian side close enough to show the ship clearly- at the 1:27 point in this newsclip, it starts before that mentioning NOT going to that side...but maybe grandma was there first?

People on the bridge, which was closed to pedestrians for a while.
Funny, this slide my dad took shows people walking on the bridge, they closed the walkway for a while as too many were leaning way over to take pictures.
