The ''Wolfe Islander II'' was a ferry that served between Kingston, Ontario and Wolfe Island (Ontario) between 1946 and 1975, when it was replaced by the Wolfe Islander III. Originally named the Ottawa Maybrook, it was built in Collingwood, Ontario to be included in an economic aid package to China in 1946. However, as WWII ended, the aid package was canceled and she was converted into a side-loading 16-car ferry and renamed the Wolfe Islander II. It has an approximate length of 164 feet. Between 1975 and 1985, it was kept as a reserve ferry to be used when the Wolfe Islander III was being serviced.〔Diver City Website ()〕 The boat was purposefully sunk on 21 September 1985 in the waters near Dawson's Point of Wolfe Island and still serves as a scuba diving attraction today. 〔Northern Tech Diver ()〕 Between 1904 and 1946, the S.S. Thomas Fawcett (renamed the 'Wolfe Islander' in 1905) served in the same capacity before it was replaced by the Wolfe Islander II. 〔Rootsweb - Wolfe Island Ferries()〕 ==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 Wolfe Islander II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
