TAILIEUCHUNG - A Century of Sail and Steam on the Niagara River

This narrative is not, nor does it purport to be one of general navigation upon Lake Ontario, but solely of the vessels and steamers which plyed during its century to the ports of the Niagara River, and particularly of the rise of the Niagara Navigation Co., to which it is largely devoted. Considerable detail has, however been given to the history of the steamers "Frontenac" and "Ontario" because the latter has hitherto been reported to have been the first to be launched, and the credit of being the first to introduce steam navigation upon Lake Ontario has erroneously been given to the American shipping | A Century of Sail and Steam on the Niagara by Barlow Cumberland 1 A Century of Sail and Steam on the Niagara by Barlow Cumberland The Project Gutenberg EBook of A Century of Sail and Steam on the Niagara River by Barlow Cumberland This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
