The Song of the Sicamous is a large mural that shows local residents gathered around the lake to watch the arrival of the S.S. Sicamous in the 1930s. The mural wraps around and shows a train engine most likely arriving at the depot.
Built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1914, the S. S. Sicamous joined the fleet of Okanagan sternwheelers on May 19th 1914, running up and down the lake for only two decades before being retired. One of the largest boats on the lake, she was elegantly fitted as a luxury passenger liner and cargo ship.
