editThe assertion that this ship and the others were used to complete the CPR cross Canada railway is totally false. In the first place the CPR was completed with the driving of the Last Spike on November 7, 1885. Regular cross-Canada passenger trains began in the summer of 1886. This ship wasn't even built until 1907.
The primary purpose of the Great Lakes Steam Ship service was tourism. Plain and simple.
