Description
Launched on 3 March 1906, the Cayuga’s maiden voyage was in 1907. It was named after one of the tribes of the Six Nations Confederacy. The SS Cayuga was capable of carrying nineteen hundred passengers.
During the sailing season, the ship was an integral part of the life of Toronto as it was the main method of journeying to the Niagara Region.
Twin screws propelled it, which were considered a marvel in their day.
Sadly, the mighty Cayuga was unable to attract sufficient passengers after people acquired automobiles and were able to drive to the Niagara Region, rather than sail across the lake. It went to the scrapyard in 1960.
