"The Cataragui", coming down the Galop Rapids above Montreal, Canada, 1854. Among the many enterprises now on foot in the province of Canada, ship-building may be reckoned one of the most important...it is only lately that sea-going vessels have been built on the great lakes...[we record] the arrival in the Thames [in London] of a fine barque, of upwards of 800 tons, built at Kingston, on Lake Ontario, and brought through the dangerous rapids and rocky bed of the St. Lawrence with safety to the sea. The Cataragui is the largest vessel ever built on the fresh waters of Upper Canada: she is 146 feet long and 30 feet beam, hold 14 feet, and measures 842 tons. She is the second vessel built by Mr. J. Counter, of Kingston'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
