SS Keewatin - 2020 Canada 2 oz Pure Silver Coin - Royal Canadian Mint

Description

Five years older than Titanic," SS Keewatin was built in 1907 in Govan, Scotland, in the same Edwardian-era tradition—and with a similar focus on luxury, comfort, and class—as the famous ocean liner. After crossing the Atlantic, Keewatin entered service in 1908 as part of CPR's Upper Great Lakes fleet. And for more than 50 seasons, her lake route was the two-and-a-half-day run from her home port of Port McNicoll, Ont., to another key CPR terminal, Port Arthur/Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ont.
