Ship History: The 1,668 ton ss Norisle sailed from 1946 to 1974. In 1975 it became a museum ship at the Assiginack Museum on Manitoulin Island. The ship was scrapped in 2023.
The ss Norgoma was suilt in 1950 and sailed until 1974 when it became a museum ship in Sault Ste Marie. The ship was later moved to a site formerly owned by Algoma Steel where it is currently docked but no longer open to the public.
The 210 ton ss Normac was built in 1902 as the fire tug James R. Elliot and converted to use as a passenger ferry in 1930 and sailed until 1968. In 1969 it was moved to Toronto and become a restaurant ship (Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant). It was hit by another ship in 1981 and sank. In 1986 the ship was raised and refurbished and moved to Port Dalhousie Ontario to once again become a restaurant ship (Tokyo Joe's Marine Bar and Grill, and then later Riverboat Mexican Grill) .
