Original Toronto Star caption: The omstead fleet includes four new all-steel diesel tugs and scores of smaller all-metal craft. Vessels are designed to be really seaworthy as Lake Erie is unpredictable. Fish products from Omstead fisheries are shipped all over the continent, and some fresh water tid-bits even find their way across the Atlantic to Europe.
