RDZ,

I don't know. I do know that Murray Demolition out of Toronto is the main demolition contractor. I have been in a call to them and left a message. As soon as I hear back form them I will let you know.

According to the article, these stacks were used as navigational landmarks. It's amazing in the GPS age that it still is easier to line your boat up on a landmark.

There is a project out for bid here that boaters have been using as a navigational landmark for years. I think it would be fun to shoot it just before sunset. There would be dozens of lost boaters . :D
