This ship, the SS Kingston, is anchored at the Hamilton Port, Kingston Ontario, in 1856. Before the railways were secure and comfortable, the waterways provided the main routes for the movement of people in pursuit of their pioneering aspirations, and some travelled on this ship. Cousins Herbert and Emma Ripley travelled on this boat on September 16, 1911, as indicated on the first page of his diary (see it here). This photo is courtesy of the National Archives of Canada.
