Serendipity Princess

 Paddle wheeler on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron)

The day I made this photo, Serendipity Princess was docked in Midland and ...

 The paddle wheel up out of the water

judging by the mop hanging over the railing someone must have been cleaning it so it would be ship-shape for it's next tour - a 90-minute narrated cruise around historical Penetanguishene.  Note there are three decks, which includes a patio on the upper level.

Closer look at the paddle wheel

Apparently there's room on this paddle wheeler for 265 passengers!

    A real beauty, 265 passengers seems an awful lot though!

    It is lovely! Great captures! And I saw your raccoon photo and it made me think of a neighbour of mine who saw a raccoon in her backyard! While this doesn't sound unusual, it is much more unusual here in Montreal! :)

    I'm sure it is a great tour! We have similar paddle wheelers here in Cincinnati that provide lunch and dinner cruises on the Ohio River. When we need a water fix we go take a river cruise. :)

    Oh, I'd love to take a sightseeing cruise on that boat, but maybe not with that many passengers!

    That does sound like lots of passengers! I can see things going a bit tipsy should all 265 people stand on just one side of the boat. :)

    I would never have guessed it holds 265 passengers...but wish I could rent it for about a month and just 'paddle' around all over with it.

    She sure is pretty, especially from the shore. I don't see lifeboats for 265!
