  • A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929
    A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929 On a warm, July afternoon in 1929, a crowd of well-dressed people mills about a dock of the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company on the bayfront near the heart of downtown Duluth. Many of the men are attired in white flannel trousers, crew-neck sweaters, blazers and deck shoes. The women wear print dresses and sensible block-heel shoes. Some have a sweater draped about their shoulders because of the cool breeze off the water. Most of the younger women are hatless, although several sport velvet headbands or a more rakish cloche. All are excitedly talking about their upcoming adventure, for looming above them is the silhouette of the South American, one of the two half-sisters of the Georgian Bay Line. The twin funnels belch smoke as the captain gets up steam in the scotch boilers for a 4 p.m. departure. 1 From the 1920s to the 1940s, the Twin Ports hosted thousands of passengers each summer as a preferred port of call for more than a dozen Great Lakes cruise liners. The Juniata and Octorara of the Anchor Line were frequent callers at the Head of the Lakes, as were the Huronic, Noronic and Hamonic of Canada’s Northern Navigation Company. But the most frequent caller was the South American, which for 40-plus years featured round-trip voyages between Duluth and Buffalo. 2 From her launching in 1914 until 1923, the South American had one funnel, as depicted in this pen-and-ink drawing by the late Arvid Morken of Superior.

    TELESCOPE June, 1962 Volume 11, Number 6 Great Lakes Maritime Institute DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM. BELLE ISLE. DETROIT 7. MICHIGAN Telescope Almost any man-made waterway of the upper Great NOTES: Lakes may expect a weekly call by the Georgian Bay Liner NORTH AMERICAN this July. A new schedule will take the trim cruise ship into Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan, calling at points between Detroit, Chicago and Port Arthur, Ont. The plan is made possible by dropping NORTH AMERICAN'S usual mid-week Lake Erie visits for that month; in August she returns to her normal route. Taking advantage S.S. NORTH AMERICAN of July's long daylight hours, NORTH AMERICAN pre­ Queen of the Great Lakes 7 DAYS sents an Imaginative itinerary well balanced between varied ports of call, scenic river and canal passages, and crossings of the open lake. Sailing northward from Detroit on Mondays, NORTH AMERICAN spends afternoon and early evening in Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River; Lake Huron is crossed by night. Tuesday morning brings a cruise up the St. Mary's River, locking through the "Soo" Canal at 2 p.m., bound for Lake Superior. Wednesday is perhaps the most impressive day, beginning with an early morning landfall off Port Arthur, Ontario. The skyline contains huge grain elevators set against a mountain backdrop, and stretches off toward adjacent Fort William, the other of the twin ports forming Canada's Lakehead. Gathered behind the breakwater are tugs tending great rafts of floating logs which supply the paper industry. The Lakehead is also the northern ter­ minus for the handsome Canadian Pacific steamers ASSINIBOIA and KEEWATIN, running to Georgian Bay, with boat trains on to Toronto; but they are not in port on Wednesdays.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, May 8, 2017
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, May 8, 2017 Steamboat Services in North America in the Mid-20th Century: As a young travel agent in 1949, I had to learn fast about travel opportunities everywhere. I was helped along in great measure by my partner, Alexander M. Burton, who had about 15 years’ experience in the industry, working much of the time for the American Express Company in New York. Although transatlantic crossings and ocean cruises (along with tours) were the life blood of travel agents before the influx of the airline industry, a lot of domestic steamboat cruises were still available, offering a sailing experience and good meals in old ships at very reasonable rates. The Eastern Steamship Company, nearing the end of its operations, still offered East Coast trips on an old ship named the “Evangeline” from Philadelphia to Boston and on to Halifax, Nova Scotia. At an earlier time, the Merchants and Miners Steamship Company had passenger steamers serving most ports along the Atlantic coast. There was also lively competition on overnight steamers from New York to Boston, but this service was terminated in the 1930s. The Hudson River Day Line was the survivor of many steamboat services on the Hudson River between New York and Albany. At one time, competition existed among lines operating river steamers speeding from New York to Poughkeepsie, New York to Kingston, etc. The Day Line offered excellent scenery for most of its 150-mile trip, but by 1950 it had been cut back to only special excursions to Albany and more numerous shorter trips from New York to Bear Mountain, etc.

  • Introduction Steam Navigation on the Great Lakes
    Revised Pages Floating Palacesof the Great Lakes: A History of Passenger Steamships on the Inland Seas Joel Stone https://www.press.umich.edu/4641587/floating_palaces_of_the_great_lakes University of Michigan Press, 2015 Introduction Steam Navigation on the Great Lakes n an anxious afternoon in mid-autumn 1967, a sonorous, three- Otoned chime echoed mournfully off the skyscrapers of downtown Detroit. The throaty blast of a steam whistle had become rare in this gritty home of internal combustion capitalism. Along the river, a crowd gathered to bid farewell to the Great Lakes excursion steamship South American. On board were “more than 125 sentimentalists” headed for Montreal and the Expo ’67 World Exhibition.1 Similar scenes of departure, in some manner or another, had been played out on this stretch of the Detroit River for a century and a half, less a year. On an August afternoon in 1818, the steamer Walk-in-the- Water arrived at Detroit from Buffalo on her inaugural voyage, signal- ing the beginning of the age of steamship travel on the upper lakes. Since then—and until this moment in 1967—the movement of people around the Great Lakes on boats had been a major industry and a de- fning cultural element of the region. In the words of Detroit Free Press marine reporter Curtis Hasel- tine, “[I]t was a trip like the South American had never taken before.” Throughout the fve-day voyage, wherever the ship went, its guests were serenaded by passing boat traffc. Whistle salutes blossomed from the stacks of slender Great Lakes bulk freighters.
