Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river.

  • ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. the Influence of the War of 1812 on Great
    ABSTRACT Nadine Kopp. The Influence of the War of 1812 on Great Lakes Shipbuilding. (Under the Direction of Dr. Bradley Rodgers) Department of History, January 2012. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the War of 1812 influenced ship construction techniques on the Great Lakes. During the War of 1812, much of the fighting in the North American theater of war primarily took place along the Niagara frontier and later along the St. Lawrence River. From the outset, both the Americans and British realized that gaining the upper hand in the conflict depended upon control of the Great Lakes. Critical to achieving the advantage was the development of a significant and powerful inland navy, which led to a shipbuilding race on both shores. The primary question raised surrounding Great Lakes ship construction in the early nineteenth century is whether or not this large scale event, the War of 1812, permanently influenced the way in which ships were constructed once the war was over. To answer this question, this study examines diagnostic attributes of archaeologically examined wrecks from the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain from before, during and after the War of 1812 to find similarities and difference in their design and construction The three time periods have been defined as the period before the War of 1812, from the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763), when British sailing ships first appeared on the Great Lakes, up to 1811; the period of the War of 1812 itself (1812-1814); and the period after the war leading up to the opening of the Welland Canal (1829) and the widespread use of steam engines on the Great Lakes (1830s-1840s).

  • The Pilot of La Salle's Griffon
    The Pilot of La Salle’s Griffon Joe Calnan L’explorateur français Robert Cavelier de La Salle (1643-1687) avait un petit caboteur à voile gréé en barque construit en 1679 pour voyager entre la rivière Niagara et le lac Michigan. La Salle a embauché un pilote qualifié et expérimenté pour mener le navire sur ces eaux, mais en moins de neuf mois suivant le début de son emploi sur les Grands Lacs, le pilote avait perdu deux barques qui lui ont été confiées et a disparu avec l’équipage entier. La perte du Griffon de La Salle a été chroniqué par le missionnaire récollet Louis Hennepin, et est devenu l’un des grands mystères des Grands Lacs . Aujourd’hui, le pilote a acquis une notoriété comme un grand hérétique danois, de mauvaise humeur, grand de sept pieds, nommé Luke Dare; mais si ce personnage a son fondement dans les sources primaires ou dans le folklore n’a jamais été clairement établi. En examinant systématiquement les origines de l'information que nous avons sur le pilote dans les documents autant primaires que secondaires, le présent article tente de séparer le folklore des sources vérifiables et mettre en lumière une image plus précise du pilote du Griffon de La Salle. At the ship’s helm was an odd sort of character. Standing seven feet tall, Luke the Dane was known for his violent temper and an attitude that spoke “does not work well with others.” Yet he was a good pilot and was needed if the Griffon was to be a success.1 We saw near the village of Matchinkoa a tree from which the bark had been removed three or four years ago, and on which was depicted a man with a tapabord hat pulled down below his ears, a grey justaucorps, breeches, short legs, a big beard, and a gun in his hand, another figure near him, tied up like a slave, and four scalps.2 When Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle was given permission by Louis XIV to 1 Colleen Burcar, It Happened in Michigan: Remarkable Events That Shaped History (Guilford, 2010), 8.

    Sarnia, Ontario 167 Sarnia, Ontario Population Rank: Canada. 40 Province. .18 Proportions: 1:2 Adopted: Unknown (arms granted 1993) DESIGN: The flag of the City of Sarnia is a Canadian pale design of blue- white-blue, with its coat of arms in the centre, nearly the full height of the flag. The simple shield has a horizontal top and simply-curved sides forming a pointed “U” shape. It has a yellow field with a horizontal wavy line of white edged in blue crossing the centre. In the upper left is a stylized 16th-century sailing ship, with hull, mast, spars and rudder in brown, pennants in red, and three wind-filled square sails in white, all outlined in black. The bow points toward the left. In the upper right is a sheaf of wheat in red and yellow. At the base of the shield is a half-circle, curve-upward, whose sides intersect the shield edges one-fourth of the distance from its base to its top. The half-circle is black with four vertical white stripes, creating the effect of nine alternating black and white stripes. Atop the shield is a stone castle with three towers, in white with blue details, arched with its lower corners meeting the top of the shield. Surmounting the base of each tower, and in smaller form in between them, appears a Guernsey lily blossom in red, five in all. Below the shield is a ribbon in white, outlined in black and with a red back, inscribed SARNIA SEMPER, one word on each side, in sans-serif letters in blue.

Manitoulin Island is in Lake Huron and is the world’s largest freshwater island. Lake Huron is connected to Lake Michigan by the Straits of Mackinac. More than 1000 shipwrecks have happened in Lake Huron, including the first European ship to sail there, Le Griffon in 1679. Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes and the largest fresh water lake in the world by surface area. It is fed by more than 200 rivers, and it’s main outflow is through St. Marys River into Lake Huron. All of the Great Lakes have been important for shipping goods. Lake Superior was important for shipping iron ore as well as other mined materials. The large boats that carried cargo across the Great Lakes were known as ‘lake freighters.’ It also has many shipwrecks and the famous Fitzgerald sunk in Lake Superior with no survivors, in 1975. www.catholicschoolhouse.com Copyright © 2014 Kristen Rabideau Lake Ontario L M i a c h k i g e a n Lake Erie www.catholicschoolhouse.com Copyright © 2014 Kristen Rabideau Lake Ontario is the most eastern of the Great Lakes.

Archival records mention the construction of these warships and naval dispatches report on their exploits. These warships were adorned with sculptures made by Canadian sculptors. However, the ephemeral quality of these sculptures and scarce documentation about their aesthetic appearance has resulted in an absence of scholarship on their artistic merit. The sculptures that adorned these ships were unique for every ship, with each sculpture made for the space it was meant to fill and to accommodate its viewing point.
