Description
English: The ferry Mayflower in Toronto, Canada. Its sister ship was the Primrose. Described in Roberston's Landmarks of Toronto as follows:

The two remaining vessels, namely, the Mayflower and Primrose, are sister ships, and are not only justly prized by their owners, but greatly appreciated by the general public. Their appointments are as nearly as it is possible for them to be perfection and every reasonable convenience is afforded their patrons. Their framework is of steel, their length just exceeds 140 feet and their breadth 28 feet. They are two-decked, double-bowed paddle steamers, and were built in Toronto in 1890 by the Doty Engine Company. They each possess two diagonal direct acting 29 horse power condensing engines by the same company as built the steamers. Their tonnage is 189.40, and they are permitted to carry 900 excursionists.
