Throwback Thursday is sponsored by the Haycock-Cavanagh Funeral Home in Wallaceburg:
The photo above is from an advertisement for the Canadian Wildcat, a speed boat made by the Ontario Boat & Engine Wks. in Wallaceburg.
Calling it the ‘Queen Of The Waters’ the boat is described as follows: “35 to 60 miles per hour. Three Standard Models, built from the finest standard Mahogany. The last word in high class Concvae V Bottom Speed Boats, powered with motors that have won a world’s wide reputation.”
