The Toronto Bluebell had an extremely shallow draft.

Currently the Bluebell disambiguation page, and several other pages, imply the ferry named bluebell, involved in a collision in Australia in the 1930s, was formerly the ferry named Bluebell launched in Toronto in 1906, for the Toronto Ferry Company.

This is extremely unlikely, on its face, as the Toronto Bluebell had an extremely shallow draft, which would have made it a difficult tow.

Further, this 1957 photo shows she continued to serve in Toronto, until she was turned into a scow. Geo Swan (talk) 20:04, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
