Those of the Ontario' Length 110, beam 24, capacity 240 tons.

Kingston has some share jn the honor falling to the Frontenac in the fact thdt one of her early and pro- gressive citizens, Henry Gildersleeve, was connected with the building of the steamer in 1816 and a few ybars later commenced operating vessels of his own, members of his family continuing to do so for almost a husidred years, the separate existence of the oldest steamboat line on Lake Ontario closing with the year 1912, E.
