Captain William James Taylor (1882-1958)
William James Taylor was born at Buffalo, New York, in 1882, the son of Henry and Charlotte Taylor. During his boyhood, his father was employed in a ship chandlery at Buffalo, and here it was that young William found his interest in ships— an interest which would influence his entire life.
At the age of fourteen he began sailing on the small steam barge JUNO (Can. 90771), built in 1885 at Wallaceburg, Ont. He used to describe his first job as a combination of cabin boy, deckhand and general laborer. Later on he sailed on the schooners MADEL EINE T. DOWNING (US 90634) of 1873, SINGAPORE (Can. 77629) of 1873 also, and J. G. KOLFAGE, a Canadian schooner built in 186 9— five years before Canadian vessels began to be registered. These ships carried mostly Taylor Photographs: 5-6

grain and coal. Near the turn of the century Taylor returned to steamships as wheelsman on the iron package freighter BINGHAMPTON (ex H. J. JEWETT, US 95712, built 1882 at Buffalo). She ran on the Chicago and Buffalo service in the fleet of Erie Railroad's Union Steamboat Line.
In 1902 he entered what would be his life time work, the employment with the United States Lighthouse Service.Although he was a well-experienced sailor— having put in time in both sailing ships and steamships in a variety of Great Lakes trades— he confessed he found the work in the Lighthouse Service much more difficult and "rugged" than he had ever expected it would be. Life on a light house tender was an ever-changing panorama, which lasted each year from April to Decem ber , seven days a week. Between the first placing of buoys in early spring and the last trips taking home the lighthouse personnel for the winter, there were the hundred duties of servicing equipment, carrying supplies, and the like. As officer Taylor rose in the U. S. Lighthouse Service, he held the post of mate on the tenders CLOVER, MARIGOLD and AMARANTH, and was later commander of CLOVER

and ASPEN. (Note: SeeTelescope, March, April and June of 1962, for a listing of the Lighthouse tenders of the lakes— Editor.) Captain Taylor spent fourteen years on the bridge of ASPEN. In 1935 Captain Taylor retired from the Lighthouse Service, and made residence on Drexel Avenue on Detroit's east side.
Early in his sailing days he had found photography an interesting hobby, and soon he was taking pictures of all the ships he saw. Today, many of these pictures are col lectors' items of great value. After his retirement, he devoted all of his time to marine photography. He purchased a small motorboat and a very large camera. With his son, Wainwright, navigating his boat, and handling the camera himself, he cruised up and down the Detroit River taking photographs of all the passing ships. In the ten years approximately that he devoted to this effort he amassed a collection of some three thou sand excellent 8" x 10" negatives of all the Great Lakes ships of the era immediately before and after World War II. For many years until failing health forced him to

rest, he conducted an extensive photo busi ness. His photos are unexcelled for sharp ness, detail and composition.
When no longer able to handle the business himself. Captain Taylor sold the negatives to local photographers in the Detroit area. Fortunately, in the intervening years, most of these negatives have found their way into the hands of appreciative collectors who preserve them. Within the past year, the Great Lakes Maritime Institute was able to purchase for Dossin Great Lakes Museum a block of about four hundred Taylor negatives. From this group a selection of fourteen illustrations has been made for this issue of Telescope by our Photographic Editor, Emory Massman.
Captain Taylor was an early member of the Great Lakes Model Shipbuilders' Guild which is the predecessor of our Great Lakes Mari time Institute, as well as a charter member of the Marine Historical Society of Detroit.
On January 16, 1958, Captain William James Taylor passed away at the Marine Hospital in Detroit. His full life of seventy-five years had left a deep impression on his many friends around the Great Lakes. They remem ber him as a true gentleman. — EJD

Telescope - 2 7 5 - People who find themselves particularly enamoured to the romantic tugboat will be delighted with an exhibit, now on display, at the Museum. "TUGBCATING...lots of work and a little bit of fun" is the title of this interesting display. Its focal point is the fine new model of the tug CHAMPION (see Telescope, v. 11, no. 10) which is supported by photographs of old timers, newspaper clippings on the more recent Detroit River races, the W. W. England Trophy— awarded to winners of those races— and one of the cigar lighters awarded to participating crews by the Propeller Club.
The Detroit News assembled a collection of its pictures, taken as work on the MONTROSE progressed, and put them together as a dis play in their lobby. Now that the work is completed, they removed this display to replace it with other subject matter, more news worthy. Associate Editor Otto Strek brought influence to bear, and this display, fully intact, has been given to the Museum and is now being shown. We, of course, had such an exhibit, composed of photos from Emory Massman, and the News, since a week following the dis aster. That collection has been retired in favor of these far more detailed pictures, which will remain on exhibit as long as interest seems to remain.
Museum visitors who have missed the many fine paintings that once were hung in the Special Exhibits Room will be happy to learn that they will soon be able to view them again. The current "special," a collection of photographs by Detroit photojournalist Joe Clark, is to be removed in December. This is the last special exhibit planned for a while, and pending such an exhibit we will return the many fine pieces of art to their rightful place. In addition to the fine collection of oils last shown, we have acquired several beautiful paintings which are to be shown at the Museum for the first time. A sampling of these includes DAVID DOWS Under Tow, L. R. DOTY, and FRANK E. KIRBY, all fine oils, and that is only a sampling.
And now, once again, we are at the closing of a year. Last Decem ber we resolved only "to continue to serve you in the best way pos sible." We have tried to do this, and there is no point in saying that we will continue to do so. That goes without saying. Your help has been greatly appreciated, and will continue to be appreciated.
1962 was quite a year. Sadness...we had our share, and a little more, in the loss of two dear friends. Happiness...yes, we had more than our share of that, to, so really, can we complain?
All in all, there has been much to appreciate. Wasn't 1962 a won derful year? MERRY CHRISTMAS: Telescope - 211- Great Correspondents GEORGE AYOUB, Ottawa FRED W.

Recent announcements say MILWAUKEE CLIPPER will leave Lake Michigan service, probably to be replaced by AQUARAMA from Detroit and Cleve land service. The photo of MILWAUKEE CLIPPER (above) is by Father Dowling, taken in recent years when she had a green hull. The view below shows her as JUNIATA in another view from the Dowling collec tion, courtesy of Dave Glick. (See story on next page). - 2 7 8 - Telescope Great Lakes Marine NEWS
VESSEL PASSAGES AQUARAMA, largest passenger ship of the lakes, is expected to take over the Milwaukee and Muskegon run of MIIWAUKEE CLIPPER next season if the Milwaukee berth can be dredged to 24-foot depth. Wisconsin and Michigan Steamship Company s executive vice-president, Mark McKee, announced in mid-November that MIIWAUKEE CLIPPER is for sale, indicating that she would no longer run on the Great Lakes. Prospective buyers were not identified. The Milwaukee Board of Har bor Commissioners has suggested that Milwaukee's 1963 budget in clude authorization for a $700,000 dredging project covered by short-term notes or general obligation bonds. Sand Products Corp. owns both AQUARAMA and Wisconsin and Michigan Steamship Co. The Clipper Line considers MILWAUKEE CLIPPER too small and too slow to handle the summer trade, while railroad competition has forced it out of the new-car trade that kept MIIWAUKEE CLIPPER busy in winter months. While AQUARAMA can carry 190 cars and 2,500 passengers on a 4^-hour crossing of Lake Michigan, MIIWAUKEE CLIPPER carries only 105 cars and 900 passengers in a 6^-hour crossing. The transfer will be a rare occasion in recent history when an old passenger vessel has been replaced by a newer and larger one. AQUARAMA was brought to the Lakes in 1953 reportedly with Lake Michigan service in mind when she was converted from the C-4 class vessel MARINE STAR. She has spent six seasons in reviving Detroit and Cleveland service, which presumably will now be abandoned once again.
MILWAUKEE CLIPPER has an illustrious lake career behind her. She was built by American Shipbuilding Company at Cleveland in 1905 as JUNIATA for Anchor line service between Buffalo and Duluth in con nection with Pennsylvania Railroad. JUNIATA was one of three Lake Superior sisters of the Anchor Line, including TIONESTA of 1903 and OCTORARA of 1910, all designed by Frank E. Kirby. JUNIATA was 346 feet long, with 45 feet beam, and originally carried staterooms on two full decks (as shown on page 277), a third deck being added topside later in her career. After 1915 JUNIATA joined other ships from U. S. railroad-sponsored package freight fleets in forming the Great Lakes Transit Corp., and remained in Anchor Line service to Lake Superior until the late thirties. After being idle for several years, JUNIATA and OCTORARA went to Wisconsin & Michigan Steamship Company. JUNIATA was stripped of her cabins and given a new streamlined superstructure, beginning Milwaukee and Muskegon service in 1941. World War II took OCTORARA off as a troopship (as seen by Institute member Bill Angell in Japan), and she was scrapped in the early fifties. As MILWAUKEE CLIPPER the rebuilt JUNIATA carries a buffet restaurant, main lounge-lobby and staterooms and pullman berths on her lower passenger deck. Forward on the upper deck is a children's playroom and a movie theater, while further aft are an open-air ballroom and a broad sundeck. Excepting sleeping accomo dations, these features were adapted for AQUARAMA in 1953. (See Telescope, July, 1962, cover and pp. 146-49, for a longer story on AQUARAMA and her career on the Detroit and Cleveland route.) Telescope - 2 7 9 - Great Lakes Marine NEWS

Earlier than the weather might have decreed, late November found most lake bulk freighters in winter quarters, having satisfied stockpiling requirements at lower lake ports. Many lake ships remained idle all season. 1962 saw fewer lakers sold for scrap than in preceding seasons, perhaps. PAM SCHNEIDER and PENOBSCOT, shown above, were part of the Buffalo grain storage fleet which was sold for scrapping this year, and had been written off from further active service some years ago. But 1962 also saw acceleration of a trend for older American bulk freighters to join United Kingdom registry for service carrying Labrador ore to Lake Erie. Largest and latest to go was Hanna's MATTHEW ANDREWS, sold to Misener interests. Built in 1922 at Lor ain as FRED G. HARTWELL, the 602-foot freighter is relatively new by lake standards, arousing speculation that the trend will become more significant yet next season. At least one of the largest U.S. lake fleets will reportedly turn over six or eight freighters to a Canadian subsidiary to run in the Seaway ore trade. The Bradley seIf-unloader W. F. WHITE left Montreal under tow of Moran's tug MARION MORAN, bound for service in Chesapeake Bay as either a steamer or a barge. Off the southwest coast of Nova Scotia she was reported adrift in gale winds, her tow line having parted, but she was recovered and brought safely to port. Overseas ships scurried to clear the Seaway before its scheduled November 30th closing date, after which it was to be drained to avoid ice damage. As the deadline approached, Fjell-Oranje Line’s Norwegian freighter MAKEFJELL found herself en jagged rocks just off Muskegon's breakwater on Thanksgiving evening, November 22, with one hold flooded (see photo of MAKEFJELL, Vol. 11, p. 104). About a thousand tons of cargo was lightered onto barges when weather per mitted, while pumps were put to work and tugs made several efforts to free her. At last on November 27 Great Lakes Towing Company tugs pulled her onto sand bottom. While 2,500 spectators watched at - 2 8 0 - Telescope Great Lakes Marine NEWS 2 a.m. Nov. 29, she lurched free under tow of four tugs. That day she began a run for Montreal, to meet a new deadline of Dec. 4 if possible, carrying a fifteen-degree list from trim of remaining cargo. Her hole in Number 2 hold was patched with bur,lap and wood wedges. Fog detained her December 1 at Roberts Landing, and again the next day off Port Colborne, and still again in the Seaway itself. She was joined in the Seaway by the U. S. freighter BRIDGEHAMPTON, detained earlier at Duluth in a suit to determine ownership; this ship and her 608-foot sister, EASTHAMPTON, are the largest overseas freighters to use the Seaway. At last on December 7, in early morn ing, MAKEFJELL emerged from the Seaway bound for a Quebec dry dock, with EASTHAMPTON and BRIDGEHAMPTON behind her to close the Seaway. The Paterson fleet will add four more package freight vessels, presumably of the same size as their new IAWRENDOC and MONDOC. And Canada Steamship Lines' new BAIE ST. PAUL is reported launched at a Quebec-area shipyard. In Royal Oak, Mich., on Nov. 19, death claimed T. E. Clark, 93, pioneer of 1902 ship-shore wireless communication on Lake Erie. SEAWAY SHIPS Canadian Pacific Steamships and Ellerman's Wilson Line will run joint services from Germany to Canada and Great Lakes ports. Burnt island SB yards in Scotland recently launched Canadian Pacific's new BEAVERPINE for Seaway service, due at Montreal in November. Similarly, Swedish-A.merican Line's 7,800-ton BIANKAHOLM, third of four new ships for its Seaway service, was also due in Montreal. And Bristol City Line will add its new 8,250-ton MONTREAL CITY as the sixth of its Seaway fleet next spring.
