On Board urban exploring style tour of the SS NORISLE, an old steam ship automobile ferry boat. Filmed with Sony zv1, dji drone. Boat is currently located on Manitoulin island in Ontario.
Looks like all the cabins were stripped out. Was beautiful wood work. That engine was the last Corvette engine built at the Collingwood yards.

1972/73 I was 16 years old & working with my dad in Spanish & Tehkummah paving . We were on the ferry a lot & my dad & I had a tour of the engine room . I remember seeing the gigantic open crankshaft turning as we sailed .

This so sad...even the music is forlorn. This once proud little ship looks so neglected and is now headed to the scrapyard. She only served 28 years as the ferry from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island when she was retired in 1974. She sat until present day docked in Manitowaning while many volunteers worked to restore and maintain her. Ultimately, they ran out of incentive, time and money. Nobody else wanted her so her fate was sealed when the township council voted to ship her off to the scrapyard. Rest in peace Norisle!

I didn’t know about the plans to scrap it when I made the video two years ago! I agree it’s extra sad now :(

It's been moved to Port Colborne for recycling.

So sad to hear the news of her being sold for scrap. Another piece of history gone, and such beautiful one.

Sorry to see he in that state. One would think the large and wealthy cities around the great Lakes would care about their history more than letting it rust away like this.
