HHHHHHHHHHHHHHRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHriHHUHHHHHHHHHHHH The Fourth Annual Model Exhibition of the Great Lakes Model Shipbuilders* Guild will be held on Monday and Tuesday, August 22nd and 23rd, aboard the J. T. WING as in past years. Since much of the work in setting up, maintaining and taking down the exhibit must be done by Guild members, those members who will be free to assist on those days and on the preceding Sunday evening will be appreciated for the services they may render. The next meeting of the Guild will be held on Tuesday night, August 23rd, after the conclusion of the exhibition. In Memoriam: Mrs. Joseph E. Johnston It is with deep regret that the members of the Guild learn of the death of Mrs. Johnston on Thursday, July ?th. Despite the disturbances of museum affairs, magnified by their proximity to the Johnston household in quarters aboard the J.T. WING, Mrs. Johnston was a patient and gracious hostess to members of the Guild, both as they met collectively at Guild meetings and worked indivi­ dually upon their own projects at the museum. The success of the Guild and of the Museum together Is due almost wholly to the efforts of the Johnstons; her passing leaves a void which cannot be filled. G.P.R.

Applicable for Submersible and semisubmersible vessels as well as Hydrofoils and air-cushioned craft, speeding on the body of water and submerged in the body of water. The Inventions provides a Steam Ship propelled by the kinetic force of steam or by the generated electric current provided by the steam turbine generator to a magnet motor and generator. Wind turbine provided on the above deck generating electric current by wind and hydroelectric turbines made below the hull mounted under the hull. Mounted in the duct of the hull or in the hull made partial longitudinal holes. Magnet motor driven the rotor in the omnidirectional nacelle while electricity is generating in the machine stator while the turbine rotor or screw propeller is operating. The turbine rotor for propulsion is a capturing device in contrary to a wind, steam turbine or hydro turbine rotor blades. [3045] The steam electric ship generates electricity and desalinates sea water when applicable. [3046] Existing propulsion engines for ships are driven by diesel and gas engines and hybrid engines, with at least one angle adjustable screw propeller mounted on the propeller shaft with a surrounding tubular shroud mounted around the screw propeller with a fluid gap or mounted without a shroud mounted below the hull at the aft.

  • Download the Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trails Plan
    Water Trail Plan Inland Waterway and Straits Area Cheboygan and Emmet Counties Funded by: Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Michigan Coastal Management Program, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality with support from the Emmet County, Cheboygan County, Mackinaw City, and volunteers. June 2014 1 Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trail Plan Introduction The Inland Waterway is a 40 mile long historic water route that connects Lake Huron by way of Cheboygan, Indian River, Alanson, and Conway and with series of long portages at the headwaters to Petoskey State Park and Lake Michigan. A coastal route, part of the Huron Shores Blueways, connects the City of Cheboygan to Mackinaw City and the Straits of Mackinac. Like the interior water trails, the coastal waters have been used for transportation for thousands of years. The Inland Waterway has long been marketed as the motor boating paradise. Sitting along the banks of the Indian River on a summer afternoon and watching a steady stream of motored craft pass by, attests to the marketing success. There has never been a multi-community effort to organize and promote a paddle trail. Human-powered quiet water sports are among the fastest growing outdoor recreation activities. Combined with other active sports facilities such as the North Central State Trail, North Western State Trail and the North Country Trail, the water trail will bring visitors to the area, add to the quality of life for residents and enhance the rural-recreation sense of place. Furthermore, development of the water trail represents a regional, multi organization effort and will support economic development in the region of the state dependent upon recreational visitors.
