Dining Room Set for A Meal

The well-appointed dining room seated fifty passengers at a time, necessitating two sittings for every meal.

Children watching for the arrival of the Nogoma and the Captain's Treats

• The captain would give local children a small amount of money to carry sacks of grain off the boat.
• The captain would blow the ship's whistle in a salute to the children who gathered at the docks to wave to it.

Passengers would have included loggers, businessmen, travelling salesmen, government officials, as well as families travelling.

Although all the cabins were "first class", a few of them were most luxurious, and had their own bath.
