A quality bit of work. Like the engine room shots and sounds... And that vessel has a great sounding steam whistle. Got any more information on those engines, other than what Wikipedia says? All it says on Wiki is that one was built 1907 and the other was built 1914. Who made them, capacity, power output etc? Well done.
@Hanglands The engines are fore-and-aft compounds built by "Doty" which *i believe* was based in Toronto, Canada. They're jet condensing, meaning a jet of water is sprayed into the exhaust stream, cooling the exhaust steam and collapsing it back into water, creating a vacuum. Judging from their size I'd say they're in the 150-200hp range EACH
@Hanglands You may find more information on the web site the real muskoka experience. They have quite a lot of information about the history of the RMS Segwun, Wenonah II and the Wanda III. If you have never had a chance to go for a cruise I highly recommend it. I have been on the Segwun about 25 times and the Wenonah twice.
Say, where did you get this song from?
