SS CANADIANA
The SS Canadiana was a passenger
ferry that primarily operated between Buffalo, New York
and the Crystal Beach Amusement Park at Crystal Beach,
Ontario, Canada from 1910 to 1956.
Although the
ship Canadiana was
popularly known as "The Crystal Beach Boat", she would
occasionally make journeys to other destinations
including Port Colborne, Ontario. Nevertheless, Crystal
Beach remained its primary destination.
After being sold in 1956 the
SS Canadiana changed owners numerous times and by 1983 she
was berthed in Ohio needing major restoration. A
nonprofit group, the "Friends of the Canadiana", brought
her back to Buffalo in 1984 with a hope of
restoring her to service. When restoration efforts
failed the Canadiana ship was scrapped at Port Colborne, Ontario
in 2004.
The Canadiana was also noted for
being the last passenger vessel to be built in Buffalo,
New York.
