Arrival by steamship was common. Crowds would greet the boats as they came in from Toronto, Hamilton, Port Dalhousie, St. Catherines and other points. There were two trips a day from Toronto, with the travel time being about two hours. For some of the families who owned cottages, the men would commute back and forth to their job on a weekly basis. Many steamships docked at Grimsby Park. These included, the Macassa, Empress of India, Turbania, Argyll, Carmonia, Corona, Eurydice, and Modjeska.
