RMS "Segwun"

Part of the fun of visiting the Muskoka Lakes Region. Was enjoying to see a floating piece of history! The RMS Segwun is the oldest Steam Powered Boat still in service in North America, built in 1887! Also it is one of only four vessels that still caries the tittle RMS (Royal Mail Boat).

I have included a few photos I took of the Segwun!
