— Canso Colossus, Nautilus and the Sinking Ship, fourth season

Canso Colossus
  • Type: Supertanker

Canso Colossus is referred to as "the king of all supertankers", who talks with a very squeaky voice. Canso's biggest pet peeve seems to be "yucky stuff". He visited the Big Harbour when Guysborough refused to pick up garbage, resulting in "yucky stuff" floating in the water and making him want to leave. Once, on the way to the Harbour, he steered off course, crashing into the Pictou Peaks and damaging his hull. He was eventually saved from sinking by Nautilus, Theodore, George and Foduck.

Appearances

Basis

He is loosely based off the Pierre Guillaumat supertanker.
