SS Macassa
SS Macassa, of the Hamilton Steamboat Company was built in 1888 by Wm. Hamilton & Co., Glasgow Scotland, for service on Lake Ontario, between Hamilton and Toronto. By 1905 the H S B Co. faced competition from the rival steamer Turbinia, when the Macassa was lengthened from 154’ to 178’ to become the same length as the Modjeska. Owners of Turbinia purchased the Hamilton Steamboat Company, prior to the sale of both firms to the R & O Navigation Co. in 1912. In 1928 Canada Steamship Lines sold the Macassa to the Owen Sound Transportation Co.
