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.

  • JANUARY • FEBRUARY, 2001 Volume XLIX; Number 1
    elescope JANUARY • FEBRUARY, 2001 Volume XLIX; Number 1 iH srnvfl*; MEMBERSHIP NOTES • It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Life Member Gordon P. Bugbee on October 29, 2000. Gordon served on the Board of Director's until 1983. He had been teaching architecture full-time at Lawrence Tech since 1978, and class schedules conflicted with Board meetings. Gordon left the Board, but still remained active in supplying articles to Telescope. To sum up the early contributions that Gordon made to the Institute was best expressed by Robert Radunz in 1966 when Gordon was stepping down as Editor of Telescope. "The name GORDON P. BUGBEE appeared in Telescope for the first time in the July, 1953 issue. In fact it appears twice. First in a list of new members. Then it appears in a story about the model exhibition to be held in August, 1953. Gordon was one of the members who could be contacted for tickets. Since then, the name GORDON P. BUGBEE has appeared in the pages of Telescope hundreds of times. He has been one of our most loyal workers. His articles about Great Lakes shipping would make a volume in themselves. In fact, a group of articles he wrote about the D & C Line were published in a separate booklet by the Institute. During the period he has been editor of the Telescope, we have seen it grow to one of the outstanding marine publications in the country. Telescope and the Institute have received national recognition that was due in no small part of the work of GORDON BUGBEE." Gordon Bugbee served as Telescope editor from 1962 to 1966, when he moved to Kalamazoo and found it difficult to make regular trips back to the museum to research future Telescope issues.

  • Perceptions of the St. Marys River by Chippewa County, MI Residents and Their Environmental Concern
    Perceptions of the St. Marys River by Chippewa County, MI Residents and their Environmental Concern By: Sheri L. Glowinski, PhD Assistant Professor of Biology Lake Superior State University 223 Crawford Hall 650 W. Easterday Ave. Sault Ste. Marie, MI, 49783 [email protected] February 28, 2014 Introduction The St. Marys River (SMR) is a multi-use waterway connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron and forms the international border between Michigan in the United States and Canada. Historically a productive fishery, the water quality and flow of the SMR has been significantly altered by the construction of the Soo Locks beginning in 1855, the removal of four significant rapids areas, and numerous riverside industries. Designated a Great Lakes Area of Concern in 1987, ecological and environmental impairments of the SMR include loss of fish and wildlife habitat, invasive species, water and sediment contamination by point-source and nonpoint- source pollution, beach closings, and degradation of aesthetics among others (EPA, 2013; NOAA, 2014). Water quality has significantly improved over the last 30 years due to efforts to control or eliminate these point sources (MDEQ, 2009). However, several fish species remain of special concern due to population declines (e.g., Godby, Wright, & Fielder 2008). In 2013, the initial stages of the ecological restoration of the Little Rapids area of the St. Marys River began, with the goal of addressing two Beneficial Use Impairments, Degradation of Fish and Wildlife Populations and Loss of Fish and Wildlife Habitat. In addition to ecological improvements to fish and wildlife populations and habitat, this project is projected to improve socio-economic opportunities in the SMR corridor due to resulting expansion of fisheries and tourism in the area (Great Lakes Commission, 2009).
