WP2099 WPG - (SHIP BUILDING - ROSAMOND BILLET)
POSTCARD
Date: Not evident. Not Posted.
Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified
Notation: Under magnification, the name of this ship, "Rosamond Billet", is legible on the hull just below the row of gents perched on the ship. The Manitoba Historical Society list is as having a tonnage of 679 tons and as operated by Hugh Sutherland. No other information is evident on either side of this postcard, but the location of the ship is definitely on the west side of the Red Red River, just upstream of the St. Boniface Cathedral - seen in the centre, behind what is likely the old Broadway Bridge.
This mention is made in the June 13, 1911 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune; "Another Barge is Going Northward with Large Cargo The Rosamond Billet, of the Lake Winnipeg Shipping & Supply Co., Is now en route for the north heavily laden with supplies for the construction camps around lake Winnipeg. She called Saturday night and it is her second trip this season. That there Is a boom in navigation on the Red River is evidenced by the fact that on Thursday night the company owning the Rosamond Billet will launch its second large barge this spring.
Interestingly, the January 3, 1921 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune lists a Rosamond Billet as one of the guests at a New Years ball held at Government House.

This is truly amazing. It looks to be around the same location, near where the baseball park is now, where my card of the "Alexandra" is taken. www.flickr.com/gp/wintorbos/R2y6k6
(I still think that image of the Alexandra is stunning! ... the calm waters and the reflection.)
