 Grand Old Ladies Of The Lake

Built in 1887 the Segwun is the oldest operating steam ship in North America and the 7th oldest in the world. These ships were built to deliver mail and passengers to the various resorts and cottages on the Muskoka Lakes. Today they are a major tourist attraction for the area offering scheduled cruises and dinners on the lakes.

Thanks Kathy, That brings back memories.  We used to stop in Gravenhurst sometimes on the way home from my in-laws in Parry Sound when the kids were little. Of course that dock area has changed a lot.  I see there's a Boston Pizza there now.  Haven't checked it out yet.  We used to hang out at the McDonalds off Highway 11 there.

Jenny - My husbands grandmother used to work on them in their heyday so we often stop in just to see how they are doing.
