Our Boats - The Great Lakes Schooner CompanyThis is commonly the license held by Captains and Mates working in Toronto Harbour. “Barhands” aspiring for greater glory would do well to work towards this license. The main advantage of this licensing route is that limited STCWs (A1 & A2 only) are often all that are required which reduces the candidate’s outlay prior to gainful employment. A great strategy would be to use this license and the large pay bump associated with it to fund further studies and course work. One of this author’s best employers, a tug and barge owner-operator, started as a bar back in Toronto harbour aboard a tour boat and subsequently worked his way up the ladder in this way.
