Telescope 3 The CAYUGA On last April the ninth, your editors visited the old excursion steamer CAYUGA, out of service and laying at a storage berth at the foot of Spadina Avenue in Toronto. The trip was made because the CAYUGA's blueprints have all been lost, and it was felt that some record of the ship should be made. The reason the trip was made at that time was quite simple: the ship was for sale and there was no reason to expect that she would not go to the scrapyard. One of the most important functions of the Great Lakes Maritime Institute is the preservation of ship plans for the model builder. In line with this objective, measurements were taken of the ship, and she was photographed extensively. While the record made of the CAYUGA is not complete, a skilled model builder could easily build an accurate model of the ship from the data available. Gordon P. Bugbee and Wm. A. Hoey take measurements in the ship's main cabin and Wm. M. Worden takes dam the data. A highlight of the trip was a visit with Mr. Alan Howard, former Managing Director of the Cayuga Steamship Company, Ltd. Mr. Howard and a group of other public spirited citizens of Toronto and the surrounding area organized the company in 1953 when it appeared certain that the ship, owned by Canada Steamship Lines, and out of service, would go for scrap. Stock was gold in a public campaign, and the ship ran again in 1954. In 1957, the vessel had to be removed from service due to several losing seasons.
