The dismantling of the 'Kathryn Spirit', abandoned in Beauharnois since 2011, will have cost the Canadian government $ 11.5 million. And even though the wreck has now completely beem removed from the St. Lawrence, the end of the work on the site was planned only for the fall of 2019. The bill for dismantling and for site restoration and additional work' amounts to $ 11.46 million. The federal government, which had to take over the wreckage of the ship, now has to remove the backfill that was installed to dismantle the wreck. This should be done in December 2018. But the restoration of the site will be completed only at the end of October 2019.
