Saving the S.S. Norisle
the SS Norisle, the first passenger steam ship built in Canada after World War II. The Norisle is berthed at Bay Street Marina in Manitowaning (within the Township of Assiginack) on Manitoulin Island.
After retiring from service in 1974, the Norisle was purchased by the Township of Assiginack in 1975 to serve as a major tourist attraction and floating museum. She formed a part of the community's Museum Heritage Complex and was open to the public for self guided tours each summer for over 30 years. As a floating museum, the Norisle served as one of the finest examples of the ships of yesteryear that sailed the Great Lakes.
Norisle/Norgoma
This is an excerpt from the movie created by Ontario Northland the year that these two ships went out of service and Chi Cheemaun arrived.

Norisle and Norgoma
Before there was Chi Cheemaun, Norisle and Norgoma plied the waters between Tobermory and Manitoulin Island. Here's some great old film footage of those vessels, which loaded from the side. The holiday lineups on both side of the bay were really something in those days!

Assiginack, Manitoulin Island
The community of Manitowaning lies nestled in a picturesque bay side setting on eastern Manitoulin Island, ten miles from the North Channel - yesterday's Voyageur trade route and today's internationally popular cruising destination.
In 1836 a treaty was developed declaring the entire Island of Manitoulin as a Native Reserve. The town of Manitowaning (originally termed The Establishment) was established as a joint experimental project by Anglican missionaries and the Canadian government as an effort to achieve a settled agrarian life for aboriginals. The mission (later deemed a failure and abandoned) steadily evolved through a revised treaty in 1855 that opened the Island to non-Native settlement, thereby establishing Manitowaning as the first European community and main shipping port.
