The Alexander Henry was built at the Port Arthur Shipbuilding Company and launched in 1958. The ship provided ice breaking service on the upper Great Lakes until 1984. In 1985 she was retired to Kingston, Ontario as a museum ship. A year later the B&B was initiated as a full museum service after a trial operation in 1985.

The Alexander Henry is the largest artifact in the Marine Museum collection. You can support the preservation of the Alexander Henry by becoming a Member of the Museum or by spending a night with us as a Bed & Breakfast Guest.

The Bed & Breakfast operates from early May until Canadian Thanksgiving in October.
