It's strange to see that they partly restored it... new window, railing on roof, a radar on top...? it wasn't there on my B&W pictures...?

i got pics of ships in the 70s with radar antennas, and well the daniel mc allister from what ive seen ran into the mid 80s, i have the picture of the seizure raft of HALCO's ships and the daniel was one of mc allisters tugs on the raft, that was in the 1986-87 timeframe

Only 8-10 feet? I would have thought that even 20 feet was very shallow draft....

boats must be constantly dragging the bottom , or maybe shaving it.

not even, they wet down the decks to prevent hogging, the only time they risk touching bottom is leaving the locks, they leave slowly to allow water in behind, the boats are loaded to a draft of 25.5 feet most of the time, today when my dragonboat team was out practicing in the seaway the cedarglen (sister of windoc my all time fave) it was loaded to 24 feet, the water in the seaway is low, algonquin power is running thier dam in ste catherine full tilt.
