5/14 - Saturday at the Welland Canal - Bill Bird Trillium coming out of Port Colborne Drydock at Ramey's Bend after completing her 5 year inspection. Trillium is believed to be the only working steam-powered paddle wheeler in North America. And 96-years old to boot meaning she'll be in her 2nd century before she needs to have another inspection. They only replaced one plate in her hull. Trillium is used for excursions in Toronto harbour. |
