Pastor Jacob Birch and Hornblower's New NiagaraFalls site-seeing boats

Here is a picture tweeted out by friend Nate Veltkamp about the new boats being built for Hornblower that are replacing the Maid of Mist boats in a couple years. They are being built in Wheatley, Ontario by Hike Metal i assume as they are only shipbuilders in Wheatley that i am aware of. Good "Made in Canada" and "Made in Chatham-Kent" story.... those are few and far between those days.

Here is their shop in Wheatley today. My mom is somehow related or went to school with someone associated with this company's history. But as a Sanford/Rogers that can be said of just about everyone in Essex county i suppose.
