Featured inside the main entrance of the museum are the scale model handcrafted ferries by the late Jacob Shigwadja of Wiikwemkoong. This replica is of the SS ‘Norisle,’ the first steamship built in Canada after the end of World War II, that ferried passengers between Tobermory and South Baymouth until 1974. The original steamship is berthed in Manitowaning Bay. photos by Isobel Harry
