WANDA III
Built in 1915
Wanda III was commissioned for Mrs. Timothy Eaton of the Eaton department stores. Outfitted with an engine of the same design as the engines built for the Canadian Navy Minesweepers during World War I, Wanda III was able to cruise the Muskoka lakes at a speed of 24 miles per hour, a speed unparalleled at the time.
In August of 1996, Prime Minister Jean Chretien rededicated the Wanda III and the yacht proudly began her new voyage on the Muskoka lakes.
Wanda III remains the finest example of the private steam yacht era. She has been lovingly restored to mint condition and now enjoys a career as a private charter vessel hosting many memorable social celebrations and corporate events for select gatherings of up to 24 guests.
