The massive ship is over 330 feet long and weighs close to 3,000 tonnes, and was in service from 1908 to 1965, transporting cargo before primarily being used as a tourist vessel. For years the ship was kept at Port McNicoll since 2012 before being donated to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston, finally making the trip this past week after months of anticipation.

Director and Chair of the Museum, Christopher West, said it’s amazing to see the ship finally arrive in the museum’s dry dock, but there...
