MinnehahaIn the closing decades of the 19th century, the steam tug “Minnehaha” was a familiar sight on the Parry Sound waterfront as she chuffed about her business of delivering sawlogs to mills ringing the inner Sound of Parry Sound harbour, and towing lumber-laden sailing schooners out the ship channel. An artical by John Macfie in the Parry Sound North Star has some interesting history on this work horse of that era. Go to this site for the whole story.
