CPR Eegance"
I first became acquainted with the SS Keewatin of the Canadian Pacific Railway as a youngster by way of David Plowdens wonderful photography in the classic book "Farewell to Steam". She did survive and was a museum boat in Douglas, Michigan until 2012 when she was towed to her old homeport of Port McNicoll north of Toronto on Georgian Bay for use in a development that fizzled. She was donated to the museum in Kingston, Ontario and began her tow there late this past Monday. Today she would enter the St. Clair river off of Lake Huron a continue toward Lake Erie. Here she is as viewed yesterday in the river at Algonac, Michigan . . . . . what a look - and that giant funnel - what a beauty she is !!
