Nova Scotia barge grounding unleashes torrent of lumber


Posted on Nov 15, 2010

3,000 cords of lumber broke free from a barge that grounded on a sand bar near Pictou, Nova Scotia.

The 100 meter long Sault an Cochon, owned by McKeil Work Boats Ltd of Hamilton, was hauling pulpwood and 7,000 liters of diesel oil.

The Canadian Coast Guard said cleanup could take weeks and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Area lobstermen were concerned of contamination.
