  • The Metamora was a wooden tug commissioned in 1864 and used predominantly for ferrying passengers and goods in the Georgian Bay area of Ontario. It ran onto a shallow shoal near Turning Island in Georgian Bay on July 30, 1907, caught fire and sank in six feet of water. She was constructed at the Peck & Masters shipyard in Cleveland, Ohio in 1864. The ship was 121 feet long, and 21 feet wide, and displaced about 300 tons. The Metamora was originally fitted out with armour-plating and a cannon, and was tasked with patrolling the waters of what was then Upper Canada for Fenian raiders. These were removed in the 1870s, when the Fenian threat had diminished, and the Metamora then plied the waters of Georgian Bay as a freighter and passenger vessel. It was being used primarily as a logging tug boat, by the Burton Bros. of Collingwood in 1895, Midland lumbermen James Playfair & Company purchased the Metamora along with three barges and a large quantity of boom logs, for use in connection with their lumbering business.
