POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: I quite like this shot of the Argyle, originally a ferry boat that transported folks between Kenora and Kewation on Lake of the Woods, Ontario. It is apparently a non-commercial postcard that came from a family album in Winnipeg - one of a collection of postcard photos of a vacation taken in the Kenora area.

Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: P.C. Edwards, Killarney The name is not evident on the launch, but is most likely to be the Steamer "Shamrock" which plied the waters of Killarney Lake for many years.

Unposted. Publisher: Unidentified The same steamer as in MN0956. At this point, fully inside the lock.

Unposted. Publisher: Unidentified Brimming with passengers, this steamboat is shown entering the locks at St. Andrews from the north. I wonder if this wasn't an occasion of some importance, as there were at least two photographers present (one in the picture on the left and one taking this photo). The name of the boat is not evident, but I wonder if this might be the Victoria (or "Victorian") - the first vessel to sail through the locks on May 2, 1910. (The locks were officially opened on July 14 when the Winnitoba passed through them with Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier aboard. I never took note before, but at this point, the bridge was not completed. that didn't happen until 1913.

Unposted. Publisher unidentified. A steamboat seemingly picking up passengers on its northbound journey through the locks at St. Andrews on the Red River. Name is difficult to decipher. Appears to be a two-word name. Last word is "WILLIAMS" the first word could be something ending in "...LLS". I've asked the Maritime museum in Selkirk for an opinion.
