The only boat that I recall going down the Lachine Rapids was the Rapid
Queen and that was before the seaway was built. I think the ship was owned
by the Harrington family in Lachine. What a sight to see. My father Jack
Whitaker came down the rapids on her a few times. The ship never went up
river always down.
