History: The Oakglen originally operated under the name T. R. McLagan from 1954 through 1990.

This series of photographs were taken on July 25, 2000 as we traveled the St. Mary's River. Our travels had us cross paths with the Oakglen many times throughout the day.

The upper (2) photographs show the Oakglen traveling through the West Neebish Channel, a down-bound  portion of the St. Mary's River between Nebish Island and Michigan's upper peninsula. This is down river from the Soo Lock's.

Here the Oakglen is traveling down-bound at the head of the St. Mary's River approaching the Soo Locks with Ontario in the background.

The Oaklen is entering the Mac Arthur Lock in Sault St. Marie, MI. and seen again as she prepares to exit.
