This Hallett was the largest and most powerful boat on the Rainy River. The 60 feet long and 57-ton boat was built by the Russel Brothers of Owen Sound.

This Hallett was used extensively hauling logs until 1974 making twenty trips of one hundred miles each year. This now floating museum displays what life was like as a boat logger back in the day.
