    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

  • The Mv Cabot and Chimo
    CHAPTER 12 The m.v. Cabot and Chimo (above) each operated weekly from Montreal to St John’s THE 1960s: A NEW NAME, NEW SHIPS AND LAND TRANSPORT The 1960s would bring much change to the Clarke organization. The long-distance passenger services were coming to an end and the company was about to expand through a series of land-based acquisitions to become a nationwide transport operator, rather than the Eastern Canadian shipping company that it had been post-war. The company would have to deal with continued competition to Newfoundland and labour problems in St John's, but by doing so it would put itself in a position to be able to order two large and modern mechanized ships for what would come to be its main route between Montreal and St John's. Older ships would be sold off, others chartered and a new joint venture would be opened to serve Goose Bay and the Arctic. And as the Quebec North Shore highway system developed, the Rivière-du-Loup and Saguenay cross-river ferry operations would be renewed. As ferries replaced passenger ships and other cargo operators came onto the scene, the company would also lose some of its long-standing subsidized services. But at the same time, the scene would be set for entering the overseas trades. Peak Traffic Years In terms of ship movements, the years 1959 and 1960 were the busiest Clarke would ever see, with the company operating no fewer than 500 scheduled sailings in 1960. It also completed innumerable bulk voyages using a large number of chartered vessels.

We are making an honest effort to make TELESCOPE a better magazine, doing this both through changes in format and in the type of subject matter used. Current news is being emphasized, along with an effort to print more material on model shipbuilding. The cover which appears this month may be settled upon as TELESCOPED ”new face.” Other changes made necessary by the change in size have already been put into effect. We hope we are doing a good job. TELESCOPE exists because the members of the Guild see fit to contribute annual sums to the Guild. It exists not be­ cause the editors edit it, not because the printers print it, but because you, the members, pay for it.

  • News Release
    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.

    JANUARY ☆ FEBRUARY, 1990 VOLUME XXXIX; Number 1 - ' INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 TELESCOPE Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • For our new members, your bi-monthly issue should be mailed by the 15th in January, March, May, July, September and November. In order to reduce mailing costs, the Board of Director’s election ballot will be mailed in the May issue; the Annual Dinner notice will be sent with the July issue and your renewal notice for 1990 will be sent in the September issue. Periodically members have marine publications that they wish to donate to the museum. In January volunteers will compile a list of needed material to fill in the museum’s col­ lection. This list will be published in the next issue and hopefully members will fill in the missing journals. Last May the Bluewater Michigan Chapter sponsored a trip from Detroit to Port Huron. They will sponsor another trip this year on Memorial Day and hope to fill both Bob-Lo boats. Information flyers are available at the museum or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the museum. When finishing this issue of Telescope, the Compugraphic machine decided to type only certain letters. Since the deadline for the printer was only two days away, I decided to finish this issue without waiting for the repairman. I apologize for using the typewriter for photo captains and other places, but felt that it was more important to send Telescope to the printer on time. In the next issue, we’ll provide information on the few ships that had to be omitted from the news due to problems with the machine.

  • Can't Find a Vessel?
    Can't find a vessel? If you're having trouble finding a particular ship, it may have been renamed.
