The 1980-built Canada Steamship Lines vessel is the third Seaway vessel to carry the name OAKGLEN.


OAKGLEN (1) was built in 1923 and sailed as THE INTERNATIONAL, J.F. VAUGHAN and MAXINE.
She sailed as OAKGLEN (1) from 1982-1988.

OAKGLEN (2) was built in 1953 for Canada Steamship Lines as T.R. MCLAGAN.
Acquired by P&H Shipping in 1988, T.R. MCLAGAN became OAKGLEN (2).
She was retired in 2002 and sent overseas in a tandem scrap tow with SEAWAY QUEEN.

OAKGLEN (3) was built in 1980 by N.V. Cockerhill Yards in Belgium as FEDERAL DANUBE.
She was one of the four FedNav sister ships acquired by Canada Steamship Lines in 2009.
