T.J. Clark (fireboat)

The T.J. Clark was a fireboat, ferry and cargo vessel, that was operated in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from 1911 to 1959.

[1] She was powered by a pair of steam engines manufactured by Polson Iron Works.

[1] In 1923, when the City of Toronto acquired an official fireboat, the Charles A. Reed, she was shifted to other duties.

She spent her last two years of operation, between 1958 and 1959, carrying freight for the Metro Toronto Department of Parks and Recreation.

Finally, she was sold for $1 to the Toronto Drydock Company, which completely scrapped the vessel by early 1961.
