The Normac was built in 1902 in Port
Huron, Michigan. In 1930 it was bought by the Owen Sound
Transportation company
and for its first years it ran from Owen Sound up into the
North Channel. In 1932 it was switched to run a ferry service
from
Tobermory to South Baymouth. The Normac was the first car
ferry from the Bruce to Manitoulin and carried between 8 and 10
vehicles.
This scene shows it coming into the outer harbour at Tobermory
passing North Point.
"The Norgoma" 250 s/n
Image Size 9"x12" unframed $110
on canvas $145
Framed Size 18"x21" framed $265
The Norgoma was built in 1950 and spent its
first 14 years on the North Channel run from Owen Sound to Sault
Ste. Marie.
With the opening of the Trans Canada Highway and the road
into Killarney, the MS Norgoma was no longer needed to supply
the communities on the North Shore.
In 1964 it was moved to replace the MS Normac on the run
from Tobermory to Manitoulin along with the Norisle. In
1974 they were both replaced by the ChiCheemaun.
"The South American" 250 s/n
The North & South American were passengers ships that cruised the Great Lakes for decades.
The South American was launched in 1914 and sailed until 1967.
The view is of the Bluewater Bridge with the Thomas Edison Depot at the base of the bridge as it was in the 1960's.
A piece of history that will bring back memories for many.
