- Description
- This is the Chicora, one of the Niagara Navigation Company's steamships coming into Niagara past Fort Niagara. The ships travelled between Niagara and Toronto from 1877 until 1913 when several steamship companies formed Canada Steamship Lines. The ships of the Comapny were named; Chicora, Cibola (which burned in 1896), Chippewa, Corona(which replaced the Cibola) and Cayuga. The fleet would transport up to 10,000 visitors from Toronto to Niagara and Queenston on a busy summer weekend. Each of the four ships made two trips to Niagara daily in 1910.
