It looks like adventurous fun... a paddle steamer named Rapids King in the Lachine Rapids on the Fleuve Saint-Laurent (Saint Lawrence River) between the Ile de Montréal and the south shore near the former city of Lachine, in a colored postcard from about 100 years ago.
The Lachine Canal was contructed to avoid the rapids over 1824-1825; because of capacity problems this was replaced by the South Shore Canal (Saint-Lambert and Côte Sainte-Catherine locks) of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in 1959.
