The mural at Andress Boat Works (started up in 1921) in Rockport, Ontario, Canada.

 

Andress Boat Works' history dates back to the early 1920s, when Mr. Ed. Andress, born in 1886 and raised in the area, like his father and uncle, began building boats.

 

This fellow also gave rise to the Elva Boat Line, named after a 20 passenger passenger boat named "Elva" (his daughter's middle name) which he built among many others. The last Elva passenger boat was commissioned in 1956 and was decommissioned in 2006.
