William Inglis (ferry)

The William Inglis is a Toronto Island Ferry now operated by the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division of the City of Toronto. She was commissioned in 1935. She was the first of three ferries built, to replace the aging ferries the city inherited when it took over ferry operations from private industry. Initially, responsibility for operating a ferry service was assigned to the Toronto Transportation Commission.

Her namesake was an important Toronto industrialist William Inglis, who headed the John Inglis and Company founded by his father John Inglis.

In October 2012 City Council decided that funds should be set aside to replace the William Inglis, and her two fleet-mates, the Thomas Rennie and the Sam McBride, with modern vessels.
