Dear Buffalo Joe;
My brother and I are trying to
find additional information on this RCMP two-man vessel that serviced Kenora
and the Lake of Woods area between 1947 and 1957.
I have not been able to find any new information about the boat while it was in government service, I'm a wee bit disappointed, but we remain confident that in time more information may come to light. I have also posted a picture of this boat on FlickR -- it has a huge worldwide membership and there is over a billion items listed.
Its builder was headed up by one of the top respected and brilliant 20th century marine designers Hubert Scott-Paine. His accomplishments may also draw interest to this former RCMP boat. I am also a hobbyist deltiologist and I keep a look out for old postcards that may show the boat in them as well.
As a Director for the Perth County, Ontario Historical Society I do know that there is no end to the interesting new materials that keep showing up at our museum and archives and I am hopeful the same happens with a discovery about this boat.

We enjoy trying to discover new and exciting history for all of us who are interested in unearthing our past.
On behalf of my brother, I thank you for your time.
