William Inglis (ferry)

The William Inglis

The William Inglis is a Toronto Island Ferry operated by the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division of the City of Toronto.[1] She was commissioned in 1935.[2] Her namesake was an important industrialist.

In October 2012 City Council decided that funds should be set aside to replace the Sam McBride and her two fleet-mates, the Thomas Rennie and the Sam McBride with modern vessels.[3]
