M/V ''Kwasind'' is a passenger ferry built in 1912 for the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.〔 〕〔 〕 She is long. She was built by the Polson Iron Works and cost $13,000. Her name was taken from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem about Hiawatha, as the yacht club's previous ferry is the ''Hiawatha''.〔 〕 The ''Kwasind'' has served as a ferry for the yacht club since 1912.〔 She was converted from a steam engine to a diesel engine in the 1940s. On July 29, 2000, both the ''Kwasind'', and the yacht club's older ferry, the ''Hiawatha'', 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 Kwasind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
