From your description, I'm guessing you're looking for something along the lines of a small-ish passenger boat? Here are a few that come to mind. Right there in Halifax you have the 1913-vintage survey vessel Acadia. She isn't operational but can be towed. More info here: http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/atoz/acadia.html If you're willing to go a little further afield, there's the Katahdin on Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine. She was built in 1914 as an excursion steamer on the lake, and although she has since been converted to diesel, she is still very much original in appearance, and similar to vessels that used to run along the Maine coast. More info here: http://www.katahdincruises.com On the Canadian side there's the RMS Segwun, a genuine 1887-vintage coal-fired steamer operating on the Muskoka Lakes out of Gravenhurst, Ontario. More info here: http://www.muskokasteamships.com/mss-ships.htm A few others that come to mind are: Trillium - 1910 sidewheel steam ferry in Toronto (operational), Ticonderoga - beautifully-preserved 1906 Lake Champlain sidewheel steamer in Shelburne Vermont (displayed on dry land, which will require a bit of creativity - or CGI - when it comes to camera angles), Sabino - 1908 excursion steamer in Mystic, Connecticut (operational), Yankee - 1907 coastal excursion steamer converted to diesel, currently privately owned in New York (possibly operational). Hope this helps
