The Segwun

The Segwun is a steam ship that cruises on Lake Muskoka, 
docked at the Gravenhurst wharf. Way back when the boat was powered by
paddlewheel, & was called the Nipissing, my great-grandfather
was the captain. The Segwun is the oldest Royal Mail boat still in service. 
Yes, you can still mail a letter right on board!

When I was at the Bracebridge Craft show this summer, I saw
an artist that painted on Muskoka granite & one of the scenes 
was of the Segwun. This one looks like a perfect Muskoka sunset cruise.







It makes a nice sentimental keepsake.  : )
