SS Norisle, Museum ship in Manitowaning, Canada.
The SS Norisle stretches 215 feet long and features a triple expansion steam engine capable of reaching speeds of 12 knots.
The SS Norisle, constructed in 1946 at Collingwood Shipbuilding, marked the first steamship built in Canada following World War II.
The vessel's name combines 'Nor' for Northern Lake Huron and 'Isle' for Manitoulin Island, reflecting its geographic connection.
During its service from 1947 to 1974, the ferry transported 200 passengers and 50 vehicles between Tobermory and South Baymouth.
The ship's engines were initially designed for a Royal Canadian Navy corvette before being repurposed for the SS Norisle.
