Description
Postcard with color photo of Chief Commanda tied up at dock. It operated from 1947 to 1974, ferrying people, mail and freight on Lake Nipissing and the French River, and was named for chief Raymond Commanda. After it was replaced by the Commanda II tour boat in 1974, Commanda I was donated to the Dokis Reserve on the French River. It was later returned to North Bay and is now a dockside restaurant.
