Trent on the Trent-Severn Waterway
Historic, the tugboat Trent began working for Parks Canada in 1948, towing heavy machinery and other machinery up and down the Trent-Severn Waterway, which links Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay (Lake Huron). It also doubled as a work platform for diving operations.
Trent was retired in 1970, but in 1980 it went back to work, this time with a travelling exhibit promoting the Trent-Severn Waterway.
Perhaps you can tell by the photo that it was a hot, muggy day when I made this photo!

Thanks for educating me again. Never realized there were tugs on the Trent.
Makes me want to board.
How beautiful and peaceful place! I like the boat image and I imagine it was a pleasant day for walking around taking pictures!

It is a wonderful photo, the old tugboat is a beauty.
Oh I love seeing these tugs. Great shot. Hug B
It is a wonderful photo.
I love visiting to port of Tampa and amaze the size of the tugs that plough our waterways. Five stories high, 150 feet long...platforms of pure power, yet retain the quaint look of the 'lil' one you captured.
that tugboat ws born the year my brother was, and i was 4.. and still looking good. the boat not me...
Unexpected and very nice!
Good morning, I like seeing these old tugboats. Great shot!
Have a happy day and new week ahead!
I doesn't look hot and muggy in the photo, but based on the weather we had, I believe you!
Trent looks in tip top condition!
For some reason I've always liked tugboats...maybe it's their tough image. They're small but strong and resilient. Like the "Little Tugboat That Could."
Wonderful post and delightful boat and photo! ~ Glad we are more into preserving our treasures in the USA than we used to be.
Happy Week to you,

I would love to get to go on it, too...
What a great looking boat. Love the colors.
Yes, I love tugboats, too, but of course, being originally from a small town in the middle of Texas, I do love water and boats -- of all sizes!! Great captures and post for the day as always!! Hope you have a wonderful new week!! Enjoy!!
boa tarde, a foto é perfeita, revela um um bom rebocador com muitas horas de trabalho.

Trent looks like a workhorse that has served its purpose and then some. Great to know it has respect and maintains its seafaring dignity.
Quite a boat! Yes, it does look like a hot day.
Neat old tugboat!
Lovely shot of the boat.
Lovely, peaceful-looking photo! And I love the scavenger squash!!!
Looks like a well maintained tugboat.Lovely colouring in this image.
I didn't know there were tugs on the canal either. Love to see one - tough little things!
i always wonder what it is like on a tugboat. just like a normal kind of boat or what? i am curious. ( :
We took a boat tour through the waterway once. Very interesting, especially the lift lock in Peterborough.
What a pretty little boat!
Tugboats like this are so charming.
Worth a Thousand Words
I like this kind o boats. Thanks for sharing :)
Love the look of the Trent. It is a great ambassador for the waterway. Once spent a lovely week sailing in Georgian Bay. It is a glorious place, and would love to do that again.
Pretty colors on this tugboat. I would like to hop on it for a ride out to the water.
That old tugboat is wonderful!
Lovely tugboat, it really looks old but wonderful. Love this photo.
Thought it was a photo from the UK until I read your post. Great image of such a work horse.
A travelling exhibit is a great idea.
I've always had a soft spot for tug boats EG , the real hard workers of the harbours around the world.
