Page 40 The KEEWATIN passes the Georgian Bay cruise ship SOUTH AMERICAN on her way to Buffalo. two passenger cabin decks above, while public rooms dominate the upper deck. Forward is the galleried main salon, two decks high. It is called the "flower well" for its array of potted plants hanging from the ceiling or seated on the gallery crossbeams. On the upper deck, a drawing room is forward of the flower well, with comfortable chairs, card tables and writing desks. At the other end is the entrance to the dining room amidships, perhaps the ship's most popular feature. At the tables along the side walls are big windows giving a splendid view from the lofty position. The seats here swivel on fixed bases. A high, vault-shaped ceiling in the center relieves the cramped 'tween deck dimensions common to ship cabins. To go aft on this upper deck, to reach the cocktail lounge and the ballroom, we must pass along the promenade around the gallery (or else take a stairway aft from the lower deck). The promenades are too narrow for lingering; but one deck higher is the broad sun deck with steamer chairs and even a children's playground of swings and slides. On this up bound trip we cross the river to one of the American locks, the MacArthur Lock. A few hours earlier, we were in the throng of tourists on the viewing platforms at the MacArthur Lock. Now we are the lucky ones, looking down at tourists waving to us from these platforms as we lock through. Beyond the locks is a "museum" of bridges. First is the new high level steel arch of the highway bridge, still unfinished in 1962. Beyond is the railroad bridge, a sequence of a lift span and a draw span at the American channels, and a swing span a the Canadian lock's channel across the river. In broader waters once again, we pass the Algoma Steel plant on the Canadian shore, proceeding toward the still more open waters of Whitefish bay toward Lake Superior. This hour takes us to the dining room. Passengers are served in two sittings. Except at breakfast, the menus have colored covers showing places along the Canadian Pacific railroad system: Lake Louise, the Houses of Parliament and the like. At our luncheon meal, we find that two of our table mates come from New Jersey and the other two come all the way from England. At one point in our meal, we hear a familiar melodious chime whistle far away, sounding the traditional "three long and two short salute". Above the dome of the dining room, our KEEWATIN's deep-throated whistle replies. Moments later, in brilliant white, the Georgian Bay cruise ship SOUTH AMERICAN sweeps
