History #
The Burlington was a sidewheel steamer, originally built as a wooden passenger and package freight vessel in 1837 in Oakville, Ontario. It had an official number of C none and had a capacity of 150 tons. Unfortunately, on March 27, 1841, the Burlington was destroyed by fire while docked at Toronto on Lake Ontario. The exact details regarding loss of life and cargo carried are unknown.
After the fire, the hull of the Burlington was recovered and repurposed. In 1847, a 98-foot three-masted schooner named Scotland was built on the recovered hull in Toronto.
