Years before railroads arrived, the Canadian West was opened up by an unlikely breed of ship: steamboats plying Prairie waterways. Their aboriginal pilots, experts at reading the tricky waterways, called the ships "fire canoes." By day they chased freight contracts, but at night they introduced the Edwardian Prairies to pleasure cruises.
