Finished Ontario

Based on the HMS Ontario shipwreck, this BBAB gem has completed the building processtransportation adventure and installation to stand proudly at the New York Thruway rest stop on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Each of her three shipwrecked parts holds different enticing options for kids ready to shake off the boredom of being stuck in the car by sliding, climbing and jumping.

Narrow bridges surrounded by rope net railing connect each section to the next. 

A ship’s wheel can be found on both the inside and outside of the vessel to accommodate multiple eager captains.

Watch out for enemy fire as you man the cannons! The HMS Ontario was a warship, after all! 

Ornate touches, such as this window scroll, bring to mind the bygone era when this ship roamed the waters.

Happy travels!
