The motor vessel ''Frontenac II'' is a ferry on Lake Ontario, that runs from Millhaven, Ontario to Amherst Island.〔 (mirror ) 〕〔 〕 The trip takes fifteen minutes.〔 〕 The vessel loads at both the bow and stern. The docks at Millhaven and Amherst Island are equipped with an ice defeating bubble system.〔 (mirror ) 〕 As the vessel is constructed entirely of steel, and is not equipped with insulation, winter passages can be very cold. Ferries to Amherst Island are operated under an agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Transport.〔 (mirror ) 〕 Under that agreement if ferry service to nearby Wolfe Island or the ferry service across the Bay of Quinte at Glenora requires it, the usual Amherst Island ferries can be diverted to serve those higher priority routes. The MV ''Quinte Loyalist'' has filled in on some occasions when the Frontenac was not available.〔 (mirror ) 〕〔 (mirror ) 〕 The M/V ''Frontenac II'' was built in 1962 by Chantier Maritime De St. Laurent Ltee. of St. Laurent Quebec. The original name of the vessel was ''Charlevoix'' before being registered as ''Frontenac II'' in 1993 after being purchased by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. Her official number is 313948 and her port of registry is Kingston, Ontario. ==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 Frontenac II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
