Marine Museum acquires vintage SS Keewatin passenger ship.

Kingston, ON – A 116-year-old steamship that ferried passengers and goods in the upper Great Lakes is bound for the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston. The museum announced Friday that it had acquired the SS Keewatin from a development group in Port McNicoll, east of Midland, where it has been a museum ship since 2012.

“We’re pleased to steward the Keewatin through the next phase of its life here in Kingston,” Chris West, chair of the museum’s board, said. “The story of the Keewatin is a story of Canada’s creation as a country. It is vital that the ship, which is the last of its kind, be preserved for current and future generations, and our museum has the expertise, facilities and funding to be able to do this.”

Built in Scotland in 1907 and arriving in Canada the following year, the 336-foot Keewatin had to be cut into two pieces to fit through the Welland Canal. After being reassembled in Buffalo, it entered service and for 53 years sailed between Port McNicoll and Thunder Bay, linking the eastern and western railheads and carrying passengers and goods to ports for the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Great Lakes steamship service.

It was retired from service in 1965 and was sold to an American, who kept the ship docked in Douglas, Mich., as a museum for more than 45 years. Skyline International Development bought the 108-year-old freight and passenger liner in 2011 and towed it to Port McNicoll. It was to be the flagship, literally, for a large development that didn’t come to fruition.

Acquiring the Keewatin was a goal of the marine museum once it returned to its Queen Street location.

“We’re pleased to donate this historic and treasured passenger ship to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes to ensure its continued long-term preservation,” Blake Lyon of Skyline Investments, the development company that owns the ship, said. “Kingston is an amazing location for the Keewatin to receive maximum exposure, and the marine museum, with its historic dry dock, is well qualified to maintain the Kee and showcase its important history — a goal we all share.”

Hundreds of volunteers in Port McNicoll spent thousands of hours restoring the ship, the last remaining Great Lakes passenger liner and the last of the Edwardian-era passenger liner steamships. The ship was valued at about $48 million by the Friends of the Keewatin, a group that lobbied to keep the ship in its home port.

The Keewatin is expected to arrive at the museum by early fall and is to be docked in the adjacent dry dock. The ship’s transfer to Kingston required approval from Heritage Canada.

Steven Spielberg (dyslexia) 

Legendary film director Steven Spielberg wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia until he was in his 60s. School administrators thought he was lazy. He was bullied by classmates, and his troubles in school played a part in his career. Not only did making movies give him a place to channel his energies, but feeling like an outsider helped him co-write The Goonies, a hit movie about a quirky group of friends who didn’t quite fit in at school. He said finding out as an adult that he has dyslexia was like “the last puzzle piece to a great mystery that I’ve kept to myself”.

Donald McNicol Sutherland, OC, (* 17. Juli 1935 in Saint John, New Brunswick) ist ein kanadischer Theater- und Filmschauspieler. Seit den 1970er Jahren war er in mehreren Filmklassikern in profilierten Rollen zu sehen. 2017 wurde ihm der Ehrenoscar zuerkannt.

Donald Sutherland, aus einer Familie schottischer Herkunft stammend und Sohn des Arbeiters Frederick McLea Sutherland, verbrachte die Kindheit größtenteils in der Kleinstadt Hampton (New Brunswick) und im Teenageralter in Nova Scotia. Sutherland arbeitete schon während seiner Schulzeit bei einem kanadischen Radiosender als Discjockey. Sein schauspielerisches Talent konnte er erstmals im Alter von fünfzehn Jahren unter Beweis stellen, als er im Hörspiel A Christmas Carol nach Charles Dickensdie Rolle des Scrooge sprach. Nebenbei war er zu dieser Zeit auch als Stand-up-Comedian tätig.

Später studierte er an der Universität von Toronto und trat dort der Schauspielgruppe bei. Durch seinen Auftritt in Shakespeares Der Sturm wurde der Theaterkritiker Herbert Whitaker auf ihn aufmerksam und schlug ihm vor, professioneller Schauspieler zu werden. Sutherland befolgte den Rat und ging nach London, um an der Royal Academy of Dramatic Art zu studieren. Sein Debüt gab er Anfang der 60er in dem Stück August for the People an der Seite von Rex Harrison.

Auf einer Theatertournee durch Großbritannien 1964 entdeckte ihn der Produzent Paul Maslansky und nahm ihn für den Independent-Horrorfilm Das Schloss der lebenden Toten unter Vertrag. Weitere Filmrollen folgten, auch in den Fernsehserien Simon Templar und Mit Schirm, Charme und Melone hatte er gelegentliche Auftritte. Dies nutzte Sutherland wenig später, um eine Rolle in dem Kriegsfilmklassiker Das dreckige Dutzend zu bekommen. Hierfür zeigte er den Produzenten als Referenz die von Roger Moore inszenierte Folge Simon Templar auf der Flucht der Serie Simon Templar. Nach Das dreckige Dutzend gelang Sutherland 1970 mit Robert AltmansMASH der endgültige Durchbruch.

Zu der Zeit engagierte sich Sutherland zusammen mit Jane Fonda vehement gegen den Vietnamkrieg. Bemerkenswertes Zeugnis ist ihr gemeinsamer Film F.T.A. – steht für Free The Army (gemeint ist aber Fuck The Army) –, der ihre Agitationstournee zu Standorten der US Army in der ganzen Welt dokumentiert.

Es folgten Rollen in Wenn die Gondeln Trauer tragen, Der Tag der Heuschrecke, Kentucky Fried Movie, Ich glaub’, mich tritt ein Pferd, dem Horrorklassiker Die Körperfresser kommen, Die Nadel und JFK – Tatort Dallas. Sutherland gilt als einer der wandlungsfähigsten Schauspieler Hollywoods. 1985 trat er im Videoclip zur Single „Cloudbusting“ (Auskopplung aus dem Album Hounds of Love) der britischen Sängerin Kate Bush in der Rolle des Wilhelm Reich auf, der die "Cloudbuster" zur Wettermanipulation erfand, auf. Seit den 1990er Jahren ist er auch häufig in profilierten Nebenrollen zu sehen, wie beispielsweise 1995 in Outbreak – Lautlose Killer an der Seite von Dustin Hoffman und Morgan Freeman. Für seine Rolle in der 1995 ausgestrahlten Serie Citizen X erhielt er den Emmy Award in der Kategorie Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role in a Miniseries or a Movie. Anschließend folgten wichtige Nebenrollen in Filmen wie Die Jury, Instinkt, Space Cowboys oder Die Tribute von Panem – The Hunger Games und dessen Fortsetzungen.

Seine Leidenschaft für das Theater hat er trotz seiner Kinoerfolge nie aufgegeben. In jüngerer Vergangenheit stand er für Enigmatic Variations im Londoner Savoy Theatre auf der Bühne.

Donald Sutherland war in erster Ehe mit Lois Hardwick verheiratet. Aus seiner zweiten Ehe mit Shirley Douglas, einer Tochter von Tommy Douglas, entstammen zwei Kinder, darunter der international erfolgreiche Schauspieler Kiefer Sutherland. Seit den 1970er Jahren ist Donald Sutherland in seiner dritten Ehe mit der Schauspielerin Francine Racette verheiratet. Dieser Ehe entstammen drei Kinder, darunter der Schauspieler Rossif Sutherland.

Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland  (* 21. Dezember 1966 in London, England) ist ein kanadischer Schauspieler und Musiker.

Francine Racette (* 23. September 1947 in Québec) ist eine kanadische Schauspielerin.

Rossif Sutherland (* 25. September 1978 in Vancouver) ist ein kanadischer Schauspieler und der Sohn von Donald Sutherland und Francine Racette.

Titanic-era steamer Keewatin tow arrives at Hamilton

HAMILTON, ON – The tow of the iconic, Edwardian-era passenger ship Keewatin reached Hamilton Saturday around 2 p.m. after passing through the Welland Canal on Friday. Spectators lined the Burlington piers to watch the stately vessel’s arrival. She was towed in by the McKeil Marine tug Molly M1.

Keewatin is bound for the Heddle Marine shipyard. After drydocking, she will be towed to her hew home in the transportation collection of the Maritime Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, ON.

The historic vessel was tugged out of Port McNicoll, ON, Monday afternoon, with hundreds of people lining the waterfront at Port Huron/Sarnia, Detroit/Windsor and at the Welland Canal to view the once-in-a-lifetime passage.

The Keewatin was built in Glasgow, Scotland and set out on her maiden voyage in September 1907, docking in Quebec. She spent nearly 60 years carrying passengers on the Great Lakes, often docking at Port McNicoll, Ontario. Port McNicoll was known as the “Chicago of the North” for some time until trains and ships stopped coming through in 1965 due to the completion of the Trans Canada Highway.

After coming out of service that same year, the Keewatin permanently docked in the Kalamazoo Harbor in Douglas in 1968, across from the summer resort town of Saugatuck.

The ship became a museum and sat in the harbor for more than 40 years, when it was towed out of the river back to Port McNicoll in June 2012. Her departure that summer was a big event, with large crowds gathering to see the historic ship make its way out of Saugatuck one last time.

The Keewatin is expected to arrive in Kingston sometime this fall.
