Grosse Pte., ch. Last month DMH published a sketch by Ken Macpherson, of Toron=- to, of a vessel which he was asking to have identified. Here is his answer: From Fr, Dowling: Regarding Mr. Macpherson's inquiry in the last Marine Historian, the vessel sketched by him is the CORUNNA, (BR #9922), later (Can. #9922h). This vessel and two sister ships, the MORENA and NEVADA, were built in 1890 and 1891 at Leith, Scotland, for the Leith, Hull and Hamburg Ocean Transport Company of Montreal. MORENA was wrecked off Gape Race, Nfld., on her trip over, May 18, 1907, but the other two reached Montreal safely. They traded throughout the lakes for many years afterward, NEVADA was reduced toa barge in 1925 and broken up in 1938, while CORUNNA remained a steamship until 1938 when she was scrapped. CORUNNA was built at Leith in 1891 by Ramage and Ferguson, of dimensions 230 X 34.1 X 19.7, 1269 gross tons and 792 net. She was powered by triple expansion engines of 17, 27 and l-inch die ameter of cylinders by 30-inch stroke, also built by Ramage and Ferguson. Canadian Lake & Ocean Line had quite a fleet at one time and was later known as Canadian Lake Line. Some of the vessels of this line went into Canada Steamship Lines in 1913-1), although CORUNNA and NEVADA apparently did not. At least they are not on John Bascom's list, which I believe is absolutely accurate. And from Andrew Merrilees: The vessel on Page 3 of the Newse letter of February, about which Ken Macpherson, of Toronto, in- quired and supplied a sketch, is the CORUNNA C.9922h, built 1891 at Leith, G.B., by Ramage & Ferguson, Ltd. for the Leith, Hull & Hamburg Steam Packet Co., Ltd., Toronto, for Great Lakes service, She is shown in the picture to which Ken Macpherson refers, loading farm implements for Fort William at the dock of Internat- ional Harvester Co,, of Canada, Ltd., Hamilton, sometime prior to 1913, and I have an original of the picture in question. In 191) the vessel was transferred to the ownership of Domin- ion Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., Sydney, N.S., for whom it engaged in coastal service for a time, finally being scrapped by them at Sydney in 1938, Its sisters were NEVADA and MORENA -- the last named of which was wrecked off Cape Race, Nfld., on May 18, 1907, while on pas- sage to Canada from Middlesbrough, England, after being bought by the Canadian Lake Transportation Co. NEVADA went through the same changes of ownership as CORUNNA a cut down toa fuelling barge in 1925 and was scrapped in 1938.
