Lake of Bays, Ontario, Canada
Bigwin Inn was a world-class resort that catered to the rich and famous until the 1960's. The steamship shown in this picture is the Mowhawk Belle that served Bigwin Inn and area from Baysville and South Portage until 1934 when it was purchased by Bigwin Inn as their original ferry. The skeleton of this ship was at the north side of the island and was a well-known landmark by local cottagers. The old hull was removed during the construction of the new Bigwin Golfcourse. The original Bigwin Resort logo is gold embosed at the top left corner of this print.
