This is the Norisle and here is a bit of history from her restoration web site
http://www.norisle.comThe S.S. Norisle was the first passenger steamship built in Canada after World War II. The name "Norisle" is derived from "NOR", a contraction of the northern region of Lake Huron and "ISLE", referring to Manitoulin Island.
Built at the Collingwood Shipyards in 1946, the Norisle, a hand-fired, coal-burning steamship provided regular seasonal passenger ferry services from 1947 to 1974 between Tobermory (on the Bruce Peninsula) and South Baymouth (on Manitoulin Island). The Norisle, in conjunction with other vessels that sailed the waters of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, played an integral role in the early development of the region.
The Norisle measures 215'9" in length, has beam of 36'3" and a draft of 16 feet. The ship was designed to carry 200 passengers and up to 50 vehicles - she featured 58 staterooms that provided for overnight accommodations. Her extremely rare 1,000 HP triple expansion steam engine could establish a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top speed of 12 knots.
