This week, in Huntsville’s early years steamships plied the lakes and rivers ferrying passengers and supplies. Most are familiar with the Algonquin and the Iroquois, but there were other, smaller ships, too. Do you recognize this one or where she’s docked? Bonus points if you can name some of the things she carried. (Photo courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives.)

Last week we shared this photo with you:

David Johns commented via Facebook, “The first bridge. Looks pretty sturdy to me.”

And Bob Lynn Morton, also via Facebook, asked, “Would this be Centre St bridge?”

This is indeed Huntsville’s first bridge, but it’s location was where the current swing bridge is.
