Description

en-CA In 1861, because of a financial crisis and the coming American Civil War, the Maid of the Mist was sold at auction to a Canadian firm on the condition that it be delivered to Lake Ontario. There was only one way to get there and that meant taking the boat downstream through the Great Gorge Whirlpool Rapids and the Whirlpool. This trip was undertaken by Captain Joel Robinson and two crew members on June 6th 1881 excerpted from Thunder Alley
