Description
This painting, depicting a steamer ship, is believed to be one of two steamers. Either the "City of Toronto", which was built in Niagara and commanded by Captain Thomas Dick. Captain Dick captained the steamer from the 1830s to the 1860s, travelling the route from Toronto to Kingston and back. It is also possibly the steamer "The Great Britain" which was built in Prescott, 1830-31, and owned by John Hamilton. [ed. note: it more closely matches other images of the GREAT BRITAIN]
