I think I found her! And if i'm right about her, she'll be 100 years old in 2011!
This and the "Helene" are two ships I'd have cruising again if I won the lottery....and help Ste. Claire get back on her feet too.
What do you think? It's gotta be, there are way too many items on the ship that are the same, especially those boat davits. All that happened was a slight rebuild of her rear end.....and IMO, looks better as a tug.

that last line doesn't make sense because I know it was docked here well after 1981 and as far as I knew, was being used as a resturant, unless it doesn't count if she's permanently docked.

but all in all, I think this is right. Still wouldn't mind a story about her though if they're out there lol.

Thanks for your help in pointing me the right way Retroit!
