“ RMS Segwun is the oldest operating steam driven vessel in North America, built in 1887 as Nipissing to cruise the Muskoka Lakes in the Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, a resort area with many lakes and rivers. Early in the 20th century, Muskoka was poorly served by roads. Vacationers were transported to lodges, or private cottages, via a fleet of steamships. Segwun is the oldest of only three ships in the world still carrying the status of Royal Mail Ship, and the only steamer.” Wikipedia
“Muskoka’s steamship heritage is older than Canada. The first ship steamed Lake Muskoka in 1866. In 2017, we marked the amazing RMS Segwun’s 130 year history. She is North America’s oldest operating mail steamship. Wenonah II, a modern interpretation of a traditional steamship, is named in honour of Wenonah, the first steamship to sail Lake Muskoka“ https://realmuskoka.com/muskoka-steamships/schedule-tickets/

Two more from Dave's collection, The Lackawanna is a Dumas kit next to kit-bash of the Sequin...I think?

Garth! Without a doubt a classic kit from stem-to-stern and a high-water mark for Midwest, not to mention very pricey! Here are some shots of my friend Dave's Sequin that's in his collection.
The builder is big into weathering his builds as you can see.
Also, here is a very interesting take on the build...attached.

Keep us looped in on this one. Very Cool!
