Last of the Great Lake’s Steamers
A talk by Philip Hart
The Edwardian Era saw the production of thousands of elegant passenger steams ships, the Titanic being one of the best-known. These vessels sailed worldwide and were the main mode of transportation across The Canadian Great Lakes up until the creation of the railways and the Trans-Canadian Highway.
Today, the only one still floating, The Keewatin, sits in the restored Victorian boatyard, located at The Great Lakes Museum, Kingston, Ontario. This is the story of her travels, and how she came to be saved, restored, and to become the main attraction at the museum.
