Brian Westhouse notes (Dec. 2017): "I took these photos about June 1973 of the Teddy. I had gone to Selkirk to see the M.S. Keenora being moved into position for its retirement role as the Manitoba Marine Museum, although I arrived after all the heavy work was done. I did get to see the Teddy being pulled out on the marine railway. I guess it had been used to get the Keenora onto the marine railway, before it was pulled across the lawn.

Comment posted on the photo source page: "The Teddy worked towing barges of cement from Selkirk to Grand Rapids in the early 60s. Afterward it hauled silica sand from Black Island to Selkirk, using the same barges."
