The PS Trillium was constructed in 1910 at Polson Iron Works in Toronto, was re-constructed in Port Colborne in 1975 and continues to operate in the same rebuilt condition today. The Trillium is the last remaining side wheeler paddle steamer operating in North America and is located at the foot of Harbour Square Park at the base of Bay Street (1 Harbour Square Park). Author/Journalist Mike Filey will be on board to answer questions when he is not speaking in the Brigantine Room.

Visitors will meet crew members and be able to discuss the operation of the vessel. Guests will be welcome to photograph and film features of the vessel and crew. The boat is essential as a back-up for weekend transportation and will be added into service if needed.
