Yves Cloutier notes: Arrival at Grandes-Piles, QC. on Nov. 10, 1989, of the Nil Bouchard acquired from Consolidated Bathurst in La Baie, Qc. In 1990, the Boat was renamed Joe Denoncourt. Rene Garceau adds (May 2018): "The man on the bow is André Corbin, the captain of the boat."
Yves Cloutier notes: The Joe Denoncourt pulling a boom on October 16, 1996,
in front of Grandes Piles, Qc.
Yves Cloutier notes: The Joe Denoncourt photographed at Grandes Piles in 1998, in black and white.... Denoncourt is in front of an unknown boat, probably a Russel, the Nikauba and The Piles far behind.

Gatineau (Québec) K1A 0G4) notes:
I
worked as a summer student with the Compagnie de Flottage du St-Maurice
from approx 1882/83 to 1987. It's nice to see photos of many of the boats I
worked on in La Tuque, Grandes-Piles and Shawinigan.
The little boat between the Jos Denoncourt and
the Nikauba is the Hope. I spent many hours on her chugging up and down the
river. Captain when I was there was Clément Gélinas, and his son worked
with us too.
