Once a major shipping point on Manitoulin Island, Manitowaning today handles no commercial cargo at all. The freight-and-passenger steamer Norisle, in service from 1946 to 1974, now rests in the harbour as a heritage vessel, alongside the 1883 Burns Wharf and Manitoulin Roller Mills. The natural Lake Huron harbour serves public docks, pleasure craft and local needs. Island container supply runs through Little Current, the Chi-Cheemaun ferry sails from South Baymouth, and commercial lake freight is best routed via Owen Sound.
