This mural, painted by Welland's artist Ross Beard, is about 3.5 by 14 meters and is number 5 in the Gateway series. The mural depicts the Argyle, a passenger and freight steamer that was docked at the Sydenham Harbour in the early 1900s. It operated between Toronto and Cobourg with stops in Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville. The return fare from Oshawa to Toronto was $1. Evening cruises and excursions to Niagara-on-the-Lake were popular summer activities.
