    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Sarah Murphy 313.833.1262 or [email protected] DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM TO BREAK GROUND ON MAJOR OUTDOOR ENHANCEMENT PROJECT The museum will remain open during Phase 1 of construction, which will run July 1, 2019 through November 2019. DETROIT- On Monday, July 1, the Detroit Historical Society will break ground on the first part of a four-phase, $4.9 million outdoor enhancement project at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. A favorite destination for maritime enthusiasts, history buffs and nature lovers, the museum has occupied its riverfront Belle Isle site since 1960 and has more than doubled its attendance over the last five years. While it underwent significant renovations in 2013 as part of the Society’s Past>Forward campaign, this new project marks the first time that the museum’s entire campus will be activated for historical interpretation and recreation. The first phase of construction, a $1.5 million landscape focused on enhancing visitor amenities on the site, is projected to last through November 2019 and offers exciting enhancements for museumgoers and island visitors of all types. The museum’s outdoor maritime artifact displays will be upgraded with improved signage and placement, including the revered anchor from the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald, which will be highlighted in a beautiful Lost Mariners’ Memorial to include a garden, custom lighting and seating areas. The museum will also gain a riverwalk and observation telescope, a riverfront event patio and an upgraded central lawn area, providing highly desirable spaces for both public and private events. In addition, amenities have been designed for active users of the museum’s site, including new pedestrian lighting, bike racks, benches, a cycle service station and a canine refresh station for pets to coincide with the construction of the Belle Isle section of the Iron Belle Trail, which will pass by the museum entrance.

STEWART, PH.D. Professor Co-Director, Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute Erlanson Hall, Suite 5, PO Box 2000 University of Wisconsin-Superior [email protected] 715-394-8547 Fax 715-394-8374 Abstract The worldwide cruise industry has seen remarkable growth since the 1990s. The cruise market on the Great Lakes has lagged the worldwide growth and compared to historical records, has fallen far short of its full potential. This paper reviews the history of the cruise industry on the Great Lakes with particular focus on the U.S. flag segment. Market studies and business ventures to restore the cruise industry in the region are examined. The policy issues are investigated and their impediments to the growth of the cruise industry on the Great Lakes are discussed. The specific impact of current and future cabotage, gambling, security, pilotage and environmental laws on Great Lakes cruise ship operations are explored. Specific recommendations are made regarding policy changes to improve the economic climate of U.S. flag cruise ships operating on the Great Lakes.

    MAY • JUNE, 1997 Volume XLV; Number 3 TELESCOPE Page 58 MEMBERSHIP NOTES- There are two new videos produced by Mark Howell now available in the museum gift shop. Building, the Mighty Mac details the construction of the Mackinac Bridge in the mid-1950's. Many people doubted that a bridge could be built across the Straits of Mackinac to connect the two peninsulas. In a little over 3-1/2 years the five-mile suspension bridge was completed. The documentary includes rare archival 16mm color footage with interviews with Dr. Steinman and others that made the bridge a reality. There is a short story on the carferries that once sailed across the Straits. When the Mackinac Bridge was opened in 1957, the ferries discontinued service shortly afterwards and were sold. The other video The Milwaukee Clipper: Should We Scrap A Great Lakes Legend? details the history of the passenger ship S.S. Juniata, which was later converted to the Milwaukee Clipper. As a bonus, a short promotional clip is included titled "Clipper Holiday", which shows the Clipper underway to Lake Michigan ports. Both videos retail for $29.95 each and those ordering by mail should include $3.50 for postage and handling. MEETING NOTICES • On Sunday, September 21,1997, the GLMI members will have an opportunity for a three-hour cruise on the Diamond Belle on the Detroit River. This cruise will take the place of our Annual Dinner which had been held regularly at the St. Clair Inn. We hope our members will enjoy the river cruise as we travel downriver CONTENTS • Membership Notes, Meeting Notices, etc.

  • Transition from Sail to Steam on the Great Lakes in the Nineteenth Century
    Transition from Sail to Steam on the Great Lakes in the Nineteenth Century Walter Lewis Contrairement aux autres principales régions de navigation intérieure en Amérique du Nord, la région des Grands Lacs a soutenu un marché concurrentiel de la voile bien après l’introduction des bateaux à vapeur. En effet, le point de transition majeur vers la fin du siècle qu’a signalé l’apparition des vraquiers classiques à coque de fer et d’acier dénommés « laquiers » représente un aspect important de l’historiographie du transport maritime sur les Grands Lacs. Les données sur le tonnage déclarées par l’U.S. Bureau of Navigation ont tendance à appuyer cette évaluation, mais il importe de les examiner de plus près. Le présent document porte donc sur la provenance de ces données, c’est-à-dire les rapports sur le tonnage du bureau de douane, dès les années 1830. Au-delà de ces comptes rendus, l’auteur traite également des mouvements de navires, des stratégies de remorquage et, finalement, des écarts généraux dans les structures d’investissement. Lorsqu’il y a suffisance de preuve, les comparaisons tiennent compte de la région des Grand Lacs des deux côtés de la frontière internationale. From small vessels the vessel owners got to using large barks and schooners, and from these they turned to investment in wooden steamers and tow barges. Now the tendency of investment is in the direction of large and fast steel steamers capable of carrying from six to 10 times the cargo of the average vessel of 20 and 30 years ago.
