The Camille-Marcoux was a ferry operated by the Canadian Société des traversiers du Québec that entered service in 1974 and remained in service between Matane , Baie-Comeau and Godbout until 2016 . In 2017 the ship was scrapped in Port Colborne, Canada .

history

The Camille-Marcoux was built under construction number 412 at Marine Industries in Sorel-Tracy and was delivered to the Société des traversiers du Québec in December 1974, for which it was in service on the route from Matane to Baie-Comeau and Godbout that same month was asked.

The Camille-Marcoux stayed on the same route for over forty years. From April to May 2012 it was modernized for more than two million Canadian dollars . After the successor ship Felix-Adrien Gauthier was put into service in July 2015 , the Camille-Marcoux remained in service until June 2016 and was then retired.

In April 2017 the Camille-Marcoux was sold for scrapping after almost a year of layover and towed to Port Colborne, where it arrived at Marine Recycling on April 27, 2017 under the shortened name of Le Marc .
