On 25 November 1995, the Greek bulk carrier "JEANNIE", with a cargo of 25,754 tonnes of titanium from Richards Bay, South Africa, was bound for the Port of Contrecoeur, Quebec.

Abreast of Yamachiche, Quebec, on Lac St-Pierre, the generator power unit which powers the gyrocompass failed. In the dark of night, the pilot had the conduct of the vessel and the helmsman was steering using the magnetic compass. On the Île du Moine course, the range marks were not visible because visibility was restricted by sea smoke astern of the vessel. While running along the north side of the channel off Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel to allow another vessel to pass, the "JEANNIE" grounded on the edge of the channel. The vessel was refloated in the morning without assistance and then proceeded to the Sorel anchorage. The vessel did not sustain any apparent damage, and there were no injuries or pollution as a result of this occurrence.
