  At 0530 eastern daylight time on 11 August 2004, the container ship Canada Senator was proceeding downbound on the St. Lawrence River under the conduct of a pilot when the sailboat Mondisy, under power, was sighted by the bridge team on board the Canada Senator about two nautical miles ahead in the main channel. The distance between the Canada Senator and the Mondisy decreased, but the Mondisy remained in the main channel. Because the pilot of the Canada Senator was in doubt about the intentions of the Mondisy, warning signals were sounded on two occasions on the ship's whistle but to no avail. Avoidance manoeuvres were carried out by the Canada Senator, but a collision ensued. As a result of the impact, the ferro-cement sailboat Mondisy sank almost instantly. Two of the four persons on board the Mondisy were recovered from the water and survived with minor injuries and the other two persons lost their lives.
