Canmar Venture (and her several sisters) were owned by Canada Maritime, UK for service to the Great Lakes.
Probably,, that type/form of the bulb was "tailored to plow" through the icy waters of the Great Lakes.
In any case,, that bulb was coated with the ice-resistant coating (resistant to mechanical damages caused by hard ice) called GLASSFLAKE;

All the credit to the photographer of this image Darko Belas (late).
I believe that Darko would be flattered & sparkling with delight if he only knew that one day his photo(s) will receive such success & admire by the Shipspotting.com community.

I think the discussion in http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2368410#comments would be relevant even here.
Maybe you could try explaining her bulb shape?

A very nice pic there, very revealing if I can use that term. Full respect to your late friend Darko.
