If memory serves the rocks were for the new sea defences at Newbiggin by the Sea

Recently made the news in Canada as FLORENCE SPIRIT
Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators have interviewed crew members on board two vessels involved in a near head-on collision in the Welland Canal Saturday. Three investigators from the Quebec City-based office arrived in Niagara Sunday to begin the investigation, said Line Laroche, manager of regional maritime operations with the TSB’s central region. The collision saw McKeil Marine’s FLORENCE SPIRIT, headed down the canal toward Lake Ontario, and dship Carrier’s MV ALANIS headed toward Lake Erie, collide starboard to starboard around the anchor ports on both ships at 3:55 p.m.
