    Mysterious Windsor Hum Traced to Zug Island, Michigan. CBC News, May 23, 2014 The source of the mysterious Windsor Hum in the southwestern Ontario city is on Zug Island — in River Rouge, Mich. — according to a federally funded report released today. Essex Conservative MP Jeff Watson released the report's findings at a news conference at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research at the University of Windsor on Friday. Watson said U.S. officials must now determine the precise location of the noise. Copies of the federal report have been given to Michigan Gov.

  • NOAA Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Case Study
    NOAA Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Case Study Fordson Island Debris Removal and Habitat Restoration Contributor: Sally Petrella (Friends of the Rouge) and Timothy McGahey (AKT Peerless) Project Overview Reason for project: The overall goal was to initiate the restoration of the natural onshore and offshore habitat in the oxbow around Fordson Island. Date initiated: August 2010 Project duration: 21 months Project Location Location: Rouge River, Dearborn/Detroit, MI Site Name(s): Fordson Island Oxbow General description of location: In the oxbow around Fordson Island, a six acre island in the Rouge River. Vessels were in the channel, on the banks of the island and on the banks of the adjacent shoreline. Average Site Depth: 2 ft. Habitat/Substrate Type Impacted: soft bottom, wild celery (Vallisneria americana). Shoreline dominated by reed canary grass (Phragmites australis). Jurisdictions: Cities of Dearborn (island) and Detroit (adjacent land), Wayne County, State of Michigan Project Narrative History: The approximately six acre Fordson Island was created in 1917 by the dredging and channeling of the Rouge River to the Ford Motor Company - River Rouge Plant, which is located approximately 1,800-feet upstream. The Ford Motor Company was contracted during World War I to build submarine chasers (known as Eagle Boats) at the plant. The dredging provided a deeper channel allowing these newly constructed boats a means to travel down the Rouge River into the deeper water of the Detroit River. This excavation removed the adjoining properties to the north and east, and created the unique feature of this land – the island is located within the limits of the City of Dearborn, but land access is provided via a bridge from the City of Detroit.

  • 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.
