Copy of an advertisement featuring the timetable for the Queen of the Isles steamship that shuttled between Barrie and Big Bay Point (Peninsular Park) and also to Orillia. The Queen of the Isles is a less recognizable name from the fleet of the Lake Simcoe steamers as the ship did not last long in the region. It was built in Orillia in 1885 and was a coal burning steamer. Due to the railway expansion and improved roads, there was an insufficient demand to keep it profitable and thus was sent to the Bay of Quinte, Ontario by rail car.
