Ken, This was a different vessel. Yours was a passenger paddle seamer on Lake Ontario. There is mention of it at http://www.hhpl.on.ca/Greatlakes/Documents/Robert2/default.asp?ID=c015 The Norseman, a side wheel steamer of 422 tons, was built at Montreal in 1868 by Cantin. Gildersleeve of Kingston was her owner After running from Toronto to Rochester for many seasons, she was rebuilt in 1891, and her name changed to North King. regards Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: KenTemp@aol.com To: mariners-l@efinch90.fsnet.co.uk Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 2:45 AM Subject: Re: [TSL] Steamer Norseman Ted: Thanks for the quick reply. I have a season pass for a steamer "Norseman." The pass is green in color the and measures about 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches. The front panel is trimmed with gold-colored ink with 1870 Season Pass surrounded by a doubled lined circle imprinted in gold ink. The back panel has the words "Steamer Norseman - Lake Ontario." This panel also has an image of a streamer. The inside panels indicates that the pass is a free season pass and states that the hold promises not to hold the "Proprietor" liable. The pass was printed by "Creighton, Printer, Kingston." Would it be your opinion that the Norseman pass I have is the same Norsemen that you know? Thanks... Ken
