Thank you for the comment on the Alexander Henry article. A ship such as the Henry touches many lives. My information at the time I wrote the article indicated it was taken to an industrial pier north of Picton, but I doubt they would let any visitors aboard. However, I may have some good news for you; as of a few weeks ago, the ship will return to Thunder Bay as a tourist attraction.
