Dear Diary.... ✍️ This Dominion pocket diary was kept by Nick Henderson to record his movements working on ships throughout the north shore of Lake Ontario. He kept this diary while he worked on several ships and towns and cities like Shannonville, Brighton, and Kingston.

Ever wondered how deep our dry dock is? 🤔 It's 9.1 meters deep! Can't quite wrap your head around just how deep that is? Look at these photos from when we drained the dry dock to welcome the Alexander Henry in the 1980s! #DryDock #MarineHistory #Kingston #LocalHistory #ygk

#DYK that it took just 75 minutes to drain the dry dock in 1890 and 55 minutes to refill it? Learn more about our historic dry dock by joining us for a Guided Tour! More information online. 📷 Water rushes into the Kingston Dry Dock through an opened discharge pump (c. 1910)

It's with great sadness we share the news of the passing of Col. Britton A. Smith. 'A great light has gone out. Without Brit, quite literally, the Museum would not be here. We'll be forever indebted to his extraordinary & visionary philanthropy. Our hearts go out to his family.'
