S.S. Keewatin is the last surviving steamer of its kind. There are none left. Keewatin left Belfast shipping yard on September 14, 1907 and was delivered in September 23, 1907 in Montreal. It went on regular service throughout the Great Lakes in 1908 and was retired in 1965.
The Keewatin would carry up to 288 passengers and serviced by a crew of 86. The videos links below show some amazing historic footage from early 1900’s to 1950’s.
