Is it a wreck? Well, after what I've been through to make this video- I am a WRECK. I had the video in the software with 100% of the audio laid down and about 30% of the images, but I had most of the images in the folder. Then... my "C" drive developed a fritz and it had to be replaced. Along the way out, that drive corrupted the entire video. Now I have a new solid state drive... which means I have to load all of the software again. I'd been using a well advertised video software whose name starts with a "P"... in fact I paid for the latest professional version. In order to get back to work I contacted the folks who make that package and gave them all they needed to re-send me that software... that was almost a month ago... I still haven't heard back from them. So I purchased another company's software... and had to learn it. While I was doing that as well as getting replacement software for all sorts of other stuff... my credit card got attacked... 44 times. Now I'm waiting for the new card to get here. Meanwhile, my new hard drive decided that it really does not get along with my 17 year old WACOM Bamboo pad and pen. I'll need to buy a more up-to-date unit. So, I'm using my travel pen and pad which pretty much almost works with Windows 10. Finally after a LOT of swearing, this video is finished and I'm a wreck as well as being out close to $1K for everything so far. If you see a tiny mistake in the video...KEEP IT TO YOURSELF... because if you point it out, it may put me over the edge and we'll see another chain saw and bus depot event like the one back in... never mind.

Very cool video & backstory! Certainly, I'm not the only viewer who really appreciates the research effort you put into this. Not being from the area would have to make this a very obscure research subject. Thanks for the education here!

Great one Wes! Liked the video. I worked in Windsor in the mid 1980's and I spent some time exploring the waterfront. There were still quite a lot of railway related structures and car ferry slips there on the bank, and I saw a few loaded car ferries crossing the river. As I recall, equipment was marked Norfolk and Western and Wabash. Not many ferries crossing, but a few. Wish I could have been there many years before to see the Landsdowne crossing with several steam traction engines on flatcars. Cheers!

Fascinating. Very well presented. 4:56 I look at the railing around the upper a deck and it’s low height gives me the heebie-jeebies. A modern railing would be set at the height of the one at the rear of the lower deck. I’m assuming the low railing at the upper deck was so the crew’s view was less impeded.

Fascinating Wes. But I have to consult with a mathematician/logician that I know to see if "None of the above" and "Some of the above" statements will hold. It's not a Ven diagram solution! But I did love the post. I guess that you are Visitor Emeritus at local libraries.

Wes, I always look forward to your videos and make my lovely bride watch along. Thank you! On another note, I thought I heard on one of your videos from fall of 2022 that you were working on a Daniel J Morrell video. Or maybe It was wishful thinking?

There is a shipwreck in the inner harbour of Kingston, Ontario. Nobody knows what ship it is and all that remains are the ribs and what looks like the floor.

Kingston was a VERY busy port in the era of wooden vessels from earl on, so there are countless possibilities

Thr research you put into these videos is very much appreciated. The whole true story of the side-wheeler's history is very interesting. From the 1880's right up until today - a persons mind can think about the history involved (and we can see it) Thank you again Wes.
