Here is an article from the Ottawa Citizen in 1849 advertizing for the British Government to purchase three steam boats to
be delivered to Montreal to be used on the St. Lawrence Canals. One was for Lake St. Louis, one for Lake St. Francis and the third
was to be located between Cornwall and Prescott.
