The June meeting of the Steamship Historical Society of America, held at Tobermory, was a great success and we were pleased that so many T.M.H.S. members were in attendance. A very good address was given by Alan Howard and the trip on NORISLE to South Bay Mouth was extremely interesting. Members had free access to both Pilothouse and Engineroom and were made most welcome by Capt. R. E. Tackaberry and his crew. It has been many a year since most of us have had a chance to spend a night aboard a lake passenger steamer, and a hand-fired one at that!

A repeat of the weekend at some future date would be most welcome.
