The oldest of the existing ferries, the "Trillium" first entered service
in 1910, as a steam powered sidewheeler. It was withdrawn from service
in 1957 and left abandoned on Forestry Island. After complaints about
it's condition, it was fully restored and put into service, still
powered by steam, as a charter ship, but occasionally goes into Island
Ferry service when there are large crowds for special events.

So who needs a special event to ride a steam ferry? Great, Clayton,
thanks.
