Stunning camerawork... tasteful music and well narrated .... This video should be part of the future museum exhibit of SS Keewatin...as this trip is part of the ship's history...❤
It’s a beautiful looking old boat and it’s quite a pleasant surprise for it to still be on top of the water especially with the routes it sailed Let’s hope it lasts for many more years The boat has been laid up for a little bit less time than I have been on the earth I bet she will still be around when I have long gone 😂😂👍👍
As a young lad in the 50's I would bicycle with my friends, in what was then named Fort William, to the Canadian Pacific Railroad station on the bank of the Kaministiquia River. There was a wharf where the Keewatin and Assiniboia (her sister ship) would tie up and we would sneak aboard the ships when we could, and marvel at the luxury. I suppose we had it wrong but we used to pronounce her name as "key-way-tin". Thanks for a great video!
Je partage totalement votre point de vue et bien que résidant en France tout près de la mer ( strait of Dover ), je m'intéresse beaucoup à l'histoire maritime des grands lacs et mon souhait serait de pouvoir un jour admirer les authentiques " lakers" dont le plus beau ou la plus belle ladie reste pour moi l'ALPENA ... ( un ship lover from France )
When I see “Final Voyage” I think of the last time a ship sails under her own power,not a dead ship being towed. Her final voyage was in 1969. I wish they had fired up the boilers and seen if she could do it on her own.
I believe its going to Hamilton for inspection and if the repairs that are needed arent too much, they will be completed in Hamilton and then it will be a museum ship in Kingston, ONT.
Why is everything past tense? The ship still exist and will for long to come. You said she "was" so many feet long. Is the ship still that length? Did it shrink or grow when it was moved?
As a west Michigander...we miss her. RJ Peterson saved her. He was an incredible person.

Excellent job great video
Thx Randy !
Milwaukee Clipper is older, but her upper structure and interiors are mid century after a 1940 refit.

As a young lady today, it is a privilege to hear about what you did and saw as a young lad.
I immediately read key-wah-tin guess you guys were just morons
Great video. Wonderful drone shots!
Thankyou !
Terrific video, thanks for posting! Very informative also, for those who didn't know her history. 😊
Thanks!
Interesting ! I love all Maritime history. Especially Great Lakes history. Nice job and thanks !
Thanks Donald

I see gangway doors indents on the hull. Will they have them assessable again for those visiting her at the museum in Kingston, Ontario?

Agreed!
It's had several final voyages. It's quite possible, this will not be it's last as it makes its way to the next museum dock.

She doesn't look like she's in too bad shape...
No, they kept her preserve in Port McNicholl to the best of their ability. They were good to her.
