Canada Photos
At the right is a sample of the images available in our Canada gallery (HiVu #237 c1890). This shows a paddle steamer used on the Great Lakes. The slide is listed as 'Beaumaris steamship Muskoka' the place probably being Beaumaris and the ship's name "Muskoka." Maybe the building behind the ship is the Beaumaris Hotel? Perhaps you may have further knowledge of either the ship or the place. It looks to be a ferry for the Victoria families who enjoyed leaving the smog and coal dust of the cities to "take the air" in cottage country.
