It was a beautiful week of hot Canadian summer weather! St. John's doesn't usually get weather like this, so it's definitely been welcome! And in port to enjoy this fine weather were the following Canadian ships and their crews...

Over the Waves: SS Alexandria

The SS Alexandria was a steam paddle boat that travelled along the Great Lakes from 1866-1915. She was originally constructed as a freight vessel, but was then refitted and extended to allow for passenger travel, making runs all along the Canadian shores with the occasional trip across to the United States. Towards the end of her career, however, she was changed back into a freight ship, moving goods from one port to the next.
