Summary

The September 2011 Beacon reports three late-summer arrivals of the Niagara Princess, bringing passengers for tour buses, downtown businesses, restaurants, and the Island’s two museums. The article explains that the ship briefly moves away from the dock when the regular ferry arrives.

Evidence limits

The issue does not give the individual arrival dates, passenger totals, or a formal vessel record. Its body text uses Niagara Prince while the heading and photographs use Niagara Princess; both forms are preserved here as source variants.
