Her capacity is 100 passengers.〔 〕 She was built by the Bertram Engine Works near Queen's Wharf and named for First Nation leader and co-founder of the Iroquois confederacy Hiawatha. The ''Hiawatha'' is claimed to be the oldest passenger vessel still in active service on the North American Great Lakes. The ''Hiawatha'' has served as a ferry for the yacht club since 1895. She was converted from a steam engine to a gasoline engine in 1944.〔 On July 26, 2000, both the ''Hiawatha'', and the yacht club's slightly newer ferry, the ''Kwasind'', were sunk by vandals.〔〔 〕 The ''Kwasind'' was refloated, and was back in working order the day of the sinking, while the ''Hiawatha'' required further repair.〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Hiawatha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
