Life on the Cayuga
In 1942 Ralph Boston, a 14-year-old high school student, took up the position of baggage and freight officer on the Canada Steamship Line’s S.S. Cayuga. Moving thousands of passengers a day from Toronto to Niagara Falls from 1907 until 1960, the Cayuga was an integral part of the life of Toronto.
Ralph will share his experiences of several seasons aboard the Cayuga in the early years of the Second World War. You won’t find these stories in any text book!
This event will be live streamed. The link for the live stream will be sent the day of the event.
