SS CANADIANA


The SS Canadiana was a passenger ferry that primarily operated between Buffalo, New York and the Crystal Beach Amusement Park at Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada from 1910 to 1956.

Although the Canadiana was popularly known as "The Crystal Beach Boat", she would occasionally make journeys to other destinations including Port Colborne, Ontario. Nevertheless, Crystal Beach remained its primary destination.

After being sold in 1956 the Canadiana changed owners numerous times and by 1983 she was berthed in Ohio needing major restoration. A nonprofit group, the "Friends of the Canadiana", brought the ship back to Buffalo in 1984 with a hope of restoring her to service.  When restoration efforts failed the ship was scrapped at Port Colborne, Ontario in 2004.

The Canadiana was also noted for being the last passenger vessel to be built in Buffalo, New York.

We build this primarily wood SS Canadiana in three sizes:

36" L x 14" T x 8" W  (model shown), 30" L, and 24" L. Send us an email for a quote.

Model is built per commission only. The process is simple and easy. We need only a small commitment deposit to start the process. The remaining balance won't be due until the model is complete. Please click here for lead time.
