Background

I am researching the history of a small passenger vessel called the RESTLESS that carried passengers out of Port Elgin. It would become a well known fixture at the harbour. However few passengers realize that there were actually three different vessels with this name. Two were named RESTLESS, and one was named RESTLESS TOO. I intend to write about all three, including any interesting memories of trips on each of them. I also intend to include as many pictures as possible.
I would appreciate any information, pictures, stories etc. that you would like to share with me. I am also looking for any pictures of that period that show the south end of the harbour with the docks constructed for the RESTLESS, and also the speed boats operated by Elwood Epps and his father. If anyone has any pictures of the old boathouses in the northwest corner of the harbour, I would appreciate copies.
