Ferry TRILLIUM
Toronto, Ontario

Stamp issued by Canadian post on 12.07.2023.

Trillium is a side wheeler ferry operated by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The ship was built in 1910 by Polson Iron Works and initially operated by the Toronto Ferry Company. She was launched on June 18, 1910, and entered service on July 1, 1910. Trillium was retired in 1957 and sold to the Toronto Works Department, which intended to use it to carry sewage sludge from the new Humber Sewage Treatment Plant. It was left to sink in a lagoon in the Toronto Islands, along with her sister vessel Bluebell. In the sixties, there was renewed interest in the Trillium. First, in 1964, it was proposed to display the Trillium along with other historic boats at the Toronto Maritime Museum but the proposal failed. In 1965, it was then proposed to return the boat to service. Metro Toronto approved her restoration in 1973. The ship returned to Toronto Harbour in November 1975. She was returned to service on July 1, 1976. In 2017, Trillium was refurbished.

Merci à Daniel.
