The S.S. Keewatin, one of the world's largest remaining Edwardian steamships, has arrived at its new home at a museum in Kingston, Ontario. The vessel, older than the Titanic, had been docked at Port McNicoll in Georgian Bay before being donated to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. The museum has secured a heritage designation for the Keewatin and will fund major repairs for the steamship to become a museum exhibit.
One of the world's largest remaining Edwardian steamships, the S.S. Keewatin, has arrived at its new home at a museum in Kingston, Ont., after sailing through the Great Lakes from Georgian Bay near Barrie.
Keewatin was the centrepiece of waterfront redevelopment plans there, but after those plans fell through, the steamship was donated by longtime owner Skyline Investments Inc. to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston, some 350 kilometres away.The steamship was tugged into a dry dock at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. It's set to become a museum exhibit.
The ship was decommissioned in the 1960s and purchased by a wealthy American who turned it into a floating museum on Michigan's Kalamazoo Lake.
