The twin stacked paddle steamer North King is shown on its Port Hope-Rochester-Cobourg ferry run, along with one unidentified schooner and in the foreground, the three masted 'Julia B. Merrill ' making for the harbour. Built in 1859 and jointly owned by Captain J. Peacock & Wm. E. Spencer, the Julia B. Merrill lived to be the last of the schooner fleet in Port Hope harbour. She ended her days somewhat ignominiously as a burning spectacle at the CNE in 1931. Her wreck is now a national historic dive site. It was the image above that inspired the folk song by Aengus Finnan.
