<p>The year was 1910 and signs of progress were in the air. That June, a new steam ferry for the Toronto Island Company was launched and christened the <i>Trillium</i>. Only briefly mentioned in the local dailies at the time, the double-end, side-padded island ferry cruised the waters of Toronto Bay for nearly fifty years. After forty-six years of service, the <i>Trillium</i> retired in 1956, only to be saved from the scrap yard in 1973. The <i>Trillium</i> made its second debut in 1976 as a fully operational steam ferry and is still in service today.</p> <p>As the <i>Trillium</i> reaches the century mark, Mike Filey revisits the history of this fascinating Canadian ship. With a new preface and updated photographs, including some in colour. Filey traces <i>Trillium’s</i> remarkable rise, fall, and rebirth in a book that honours one of Toronto’s most interesting treasures.</p>
