Biografie
Rupert McMichael was a shipping enthusiast and amateur photographer active in Toronto, Ontario in the first half of the twentieth century.
Born around 1900, Rupert McMichael was a resident of the Yonge St. Clair area of Toronto. He was an engineering ethusiast (especially marine), and was probably a professional engineer in the shipbuilding industry. He is believed to have been an amateur photgrapher, as the photos in his collection relate mostly to his Toronto neighbourhood and to ships. He died sometime between 1980 and 1984.
