Peerless II History
Peerless II was built in Bronte Ontario in 1946 at the Northern Shipbuilding yard. It was built to enlarge the marine delivery fleet of the British American oil company. In the early 1900’s Imperial Oil Co. operated a small gasoline tanker on the Muskoka lakes.
The B/A Oil Company, looking to get a foothold on the Muskoka lakes gasoline business, engaged a local businessman Mr. Bert Brown to operate the first Peerless, the former wooden private yacht known as the Ina. Gasoline was sold from 45 gallon drums manually pumped to the customer’s facilities.Business had increased so much that in 1945 the order was placed with Northern Shipbuilding for the Peerless II.
