Photo from the National Archives of Canada shows MANITOBA "in frame" at the Polson Iron Works yard at Owen Sound late in 1888. It's launch day, May 4, 1889, and the official party is on the platform. The cabin gap aft is to permit machinery installation. National Archives. Another photo in the series shows MANITOBA entering the waters of Owen Sound. We believe the ship out on the Sound is CARMONA.
