When the oil boom in Enniskillen Township slowed in the late 1800s\, the heart of the industry moved to the St. Clai r River. This water highway linked local refineries to the world. This tal k explores how the river&rsquo\;s deep-water routes fueled Canada&rsquo\;s oil industry. We will dive into the history of Imperial Oil&rsquo\;s tank er fleets in 1897 and the Canadian Oil Company&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;marine ser vice station&rdquo\; at Froomfield. We will also discuss the environmental impact this growth had on the river. Come explore the stories of the ship s and the systems that turned this river into one of Canada's most importa nt industrial corridors.
