Main article: Great Lakes passenger steamers, A Built in 1887 the Victoria Industrial School for Boys was the destination for youth convicted of crimes and "incorrigible" youth until it was closed in 1934 Boys at the school were housed in "cottages," two to three story brick buildings housing as many as forty boys and quite unlike the wood-frame houses in nearby Mimico in the "cottages," the boys were supervised by a man and woman usually husband and wife. However despite the homely setting the school was often a place of violence for the boys there including such treatment as being handcuffed to the bed beaten and placed on bread-and-water diets These abuses were the focus of investigations by the province as well as reporting in the Toronto Daily Star.
