DID YOU KNOW that Segwun was originally named “Nipissing”?
By the summer of 1914, Nipissing had been in service for 31 seasons, which was roughly the average lifetime for many of the ships. Following mechanical issues, Nipissing sat dormant at the Gravenhurst dockyards until she was refurbished and, on July 9, 1925, she would return to the lakes, metamorphosed into a new two-propeller ship named Segwun.
