SS Mary Victoria Greenhow
SS ''Mary Victoria Greenhow'' (''MVG'') was the first steamboat on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. She was built by Captain Thomas Shorts and Thomas Greenhow and although she was not perfect, she was the harbinger of a long and significant line of steamships in the Okanagan.
==Construction==
Shorts had begun the boating service on the lake with his rowboat Ruth Shorts in 1883 and three years later, he decided to venture into steam. He convinced the pioneer and rancher Thomas Ellis that it would be cheaper to transport freight by water than by packtrain from Hope, British Columbia, so with financial assistance from the cattle rancher Thomas Greenhow, Shorts was able to begin steamboating. ''Mary Victoria Greenhow'' was the first powered vessel on the lake and Shorts launched her on April 21, 1886 at the shipyard at Okanagan Landing. She was long by in beam and could carry five passengers and five tons of freight, with a two horsepower engine and a kerosene-burning boiler manufactured in Rochester, New York. ''Mary Victoria Greenhow'' was named after the only daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Greenhow.
