Notes:

The Ned Hanlan is a steam-powered tugboat that spent her career in Toronto, Ontario. She displaces approximately 200 tons, and for many years was mounted beside a former nautical museum housed in the old Stanley Barracks on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. The boat is not open to the public.

In June 2012, she was moved to a new home on Hanlan's Point on the Toronto Islands.[1]

The Ned Hanlan is in reasonably good shape, with little rust, and a slight dent in her port gunwale just fore of the wheelhouse. The screw and rudder have been removed.

The tugboat is named after Ned Hanlan, a 19th-century Toronto resident, and world champion rower.
