***Preliminary Listing - More Details To Come***DESCRIPTION:PRESCOTONT offers spacious accommodations for 8 across 3 staterooms and one master suite. Care and detail are seen in the quality of fit & finish. Presently moored in Midland, Ontario, this beautiful floating retreat is capable of being moored almost anywhere in North America as a base for exploration and fun with family and friends.HISTORY:PRESCOTONT was commissioned for the Canadian Pacific Railway and began her career on September 10, 1930, along with her sister vessel, the railroad barge OGDENSBURG. PRESCOTONT was the first diesel electric vessel built in Canada and took 90 days to build. Between 1930 and 1970, she ferried barges loaded with railroad cars between Prescott, Ontario and Ogdensburg, New York. In 1970 she was moved to work for the Windsor/Detroit Barge Lines until 1989 when a fire retired her from service. PRESCOTONT was headed to the scrap yard when she was purchased in 1994. All the internal systems have been retrofitted including engine, hydraulics, electrical, plumbing, & communications systems. The salons and staterooms have been all updated and ready to enjoy.Showings available by appointment.Show More
