The boat is part of the memory.
Chris’s visit takes viewers through the Ste. Claire’s first floor, original steam engine, historic equipment, and Boblo artifacts. The film records a particular moment in the restoration story: its September 2026 premiere is not a current visitor timetable.
Two boats belong to the Boblo story. This film visits the Ste. Claire. The Columbia has a separate preservation history—and it was Columbia from which Sarah Elizabeth Ray was removed in 1945.
