The Edwardian steamer SS Keewatin (launched in 1907) has her sailing orders for May 30th to leave her home of the past 45 years. She will be towed back to her home of Port McNicholl, Ontario scheduled to arrive on June 23rd.

This will be a two phase operation with a mid point rest at Mackinaw City, MI where the "Kee" will tie up at the old Mackinaw Ferry docks.

It's not every day you get to see a luxury steamship (5 years older than Titanic) in motion on the great lakes. If you're in the area I suggest it's worth the time to see the big ship on her last journey.

There will be a HUGE party in Port McNicholl for the arrival on the 23rd...I expect it will last well into June 24th.
