  • Waubuno was a side-wheel paddle steamer that conveyed passengers and freight between Collingwood and Parry Sound in the 1860s and 1870s. She sank with all hands during a gale on November 22, 1879 (probably around 10 a.m.), though the exact cause of her sinking is unknown. Waubuno was built by Melancthon Simpson at Port Robinson in 1865 for J. & W. Beatty and Company, and was later owned by the Georgian Bay Transportation Company. Her main purpose was to run passengers and freight from the Northern Railway's railhead at Collingwood to places further north, including Parry Sound and Thunder Bay. She advertised "Cheap Pleasure Excursions", specifically a trip that was "short, attractive and cheap. Freight and passengers carried at the lowest rates". Her name was derived from Algonquin and means "Black Magician" or "Sorcerer". (en)
