That June, a new steam ferry for the Toronto Island Company was launched and christened the \u003ci\u003eTrillium\u003c\/i\u003e. Only briefly mentioned in the local dailies at the time, the double-end, side-padded island ferry cruised the waters of Toronto Bay for nearly fifty years. After forty-six years of service, the \u003ci\u003eTrillium\u003c\/i\u003e retired in 1956, only to be saved from the scrap yard in 1973. The \u003ci\u003eTrillium\u003c\/i\u003e made its second debut in 1976 as a fully operational steam ferry and is still in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the \u003ci\u003eTrillium\u003c\/i\u003e reaches the century mark, Mike Filey revisits the history of this fascinating Canadian ship.
