The Algorail is a lake freighter owned and operated by Algoma Central.[2] She is a self-unloading bulk carrier, christened in 1968. She is one of the last lake freighters built in the traditional 2 superstructure style, with the bridge right in the bows.
She is the second vessel of this name.[2]
In June 2013 she ran aground with a shipment of salt in the Saginaw River.[3][4] Zilwaukee Dock Manager Jim Cnudde cited the Algorail's running aground as an indication that greater efforts should be made to keep the river dredged.[5]
