One of the Edwardian era’s last remaining passenger steamships has docked in Kingston, Ontario, with the vessel set to become a permanent heritage attraction.
Launched in 1907, the SS Keewatin boasts a grand staircase, tea lounge, ballroom, scrolled balustrade and 100-plus state rooms.
The ship is now permanently docked at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, where it will now reside as an attraction described as an “incredibly exciting legacy project.”
“It’s different from modern cruise ships and you feel a bit of a presence with the ship itself that sparks your interest in what’s inside,” said Tourism Kingston CEO Megan Knott.
“It’s far different than a cruise ship and a real story that will bring people from all over to see it.”
