A side-wheel steamer, similar to the "Waubuno," the "City of Toronto" and the "Midland City." The date and location of this photo are unknown. It was launched in 1874, and worked as a supply ship for the Muskoka Mills lumber company. In 1905, the ship was towed to the Musquash River, south of Parry Sound, where it was deliberately sunk. |
