RMS SEGWUN
Whilst visiting relatives in Bracebridge a little while ago, they took me on a fabulous boat tour of Lake Muskoka. I was fortuate to photograph the RMS Segwun under steam out on the lake.
RMS Segwun is the oldest operating steam driven vessel in North America, built in 1887 to cruise the Muskoka Lakes in the District of Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, a resort area with many lakes and rivers. Early in the 20th century, Muskoka was poorly served by roads. Vacationers were transported to lodges, or private cottages, via a fleet of steamships, including the Segwun. She is one of only four ships in the world still carrying the status of Royal Mail Ship.
