Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit. -

NOVEMBER * DECEMBER, 1980 Volume XXIX; Number 6, and Index W'. ' ' GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 TELESCOPE Page 146 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • IT IS TIME TO RENEW FOR 1981. The first year of the new decade is behind us and what a year it has been. Last year most of you renewed early and that helped us to plan for 1980. The economy was down, so we didn’t expect as many new members as in other years. We were wrong!. Thanks to all of you spreading the word about Telescope, the increase in membership has been unbelievable. The increase in mem bership forced us to stop accepting new members and RENEWALS for 1980, because we didn’t have a complete years’ issues to give them. We started accepting new members for 1981 in August, so next year is off to a good start. You renewal form for 1981 is the false cover on this issue. No other hilling will be sent. By renewing early, we both save money. Dues are the same as last year so, PLEASE DO IT NOW! Finally, thanks to you, the members, for making the Institute the successful organization that it is. Season’s greetings and best wishes to you for a good year. MEETING NOTICES • The November entertainment meeting will be held on November 21, 1980. The speaker will be Mr. William Luke. (See meeting notice on page 174.) There will be no meetings in December. The next business meeting (which all members are urged to attend) will be held on January 9. -
