Telescope Several enjoyable hours were spent with Mr. Howard and his late mother discussing passenger boats of the Toronto Area and the CAYUGA in particular. He related some of the incidents that had taken place during the time that he was in charge of the CAYUGA's operations, and some of the problems of operating an excursion vessel on the Great Lakes in the Atomic Age. We hope someday to present in TELESCOPE Mr. Howard's own account of the history of the CAYUGA and the Cayuga Steamship Company. Howard J. Schuldt, Jr. took photos of the CAYUGA. Today, the CAYUGA's future is no more resolved than it was last April. The vessel was sold in May to Greenspoon Brothers, Ltd. of Port Credit, Ontario, who are scrap dealers. Later, the newspapers told of two restaurant and hotel operators, Joseph McCarthy and Charles Santos, who bought the vessel for use as a night spot. Rumor has it that the deal has fallen through; what the Greenspoon Company will do with the ship is unknown. So, the CAYUGA, one of the Great Lakes most beautiful vessels, lies in Toronto awaiting an uncertain future. We wish her luckI The CAYUGA's name flag displayed by Gordon P. Bugbee and Wm. A. Hoey.
