Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | I spent a long, long time wondering what his unusually long barge anchored just off Ward's Island was all about. A plate on the barge says 'Rapids Queen'. Considering the boat had no cabins, I guessed this was possibly a platform to set off fireworks!I finally found something on the net, and that was nothing short of fascinating! It turns our that these are the cut-down remains of the once-famous passenger steamer RAPIDS QUEEN which has finally returned to Toronto after an absence of forty-three years. Since then, it appears evident that this long-lived hull has taken up permanent residence in Toronto Harbour and will remain here as a breakwater for the foreseeable future. Her career which has spanned the last eight-and-a-half decades. It appears that this was a steamship initially built in 1892 as 'Btockville'. Her hull was later lengthened 1912 and she entered service with the new lengthened hull as the 'Rapids Queen'. The erstwhile had an illustrious career and several ups and downs, too lengthy and numerous to list here. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015) |
