The verdict? The photos were great. And the meeting room we have at the Inn on the Lake is comfortable and quiet, with washrooms almost en suite, and the hotel itself is convenient for both drivers and T. T. C. ers alike. The consensus was loud and clear; the price and the product both are right for T. M. H. S. at this point in time, so we will be pleased to meet there through the winter months. The future? Only Time will tell... We are pleased to be able to present a "Ship of the Month" feature this issue that will complement the Algoma Central Corporation's centennial anniversary in 1999. Best wishes to Canada's largest lake marine trans portation company. In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Charles J. Fournier, of Brockville, Ontario. We are happy to have you with us in the Toronto Marine Historical Society. * * * * * * * ISSN 0 3 1 8 - 0 1 4X
