| 释义 |
Nellie Bly was a steam-powered tugboat that served a number of roles in Ontario, Canada. She was operated in Toronto, performing regular harbour duties, and also serving as a fireboat.[1] She played a role in fighting an important fire in 1906. Later she was owned by a series of timber companies, that used her to tow logs and scows of logging byproducts on the Magnetawan River and its tributaries. She ran aground and was holed on a rock on Duck Lake, but was quickly repaired. The Nellie Bly was {{convert|52|ft|m}} long, and her single cylinder steam engine propelled her with a {{convert|5|ft|m}} propeller.
