Hello, Mike!
Maybe I can help you. I was a Norwegian sailor in 1967/68 on that river, loading bauxite for Port Alfred, Canada. I have some photos I would like to show you.
MV “Sunrana” for Saguenay Terminals. You were waiting for the high water and a lot of nice ladies met you there in their kanos for selling you bananas…..

That house – the first picture looked like the house I lived in – in the early 60′s. Good memories
