    2. MARINE NEWS As mentioned briefly last issue, the sale of the USS Great Lakes Fleet Inc. self-unloaders CALCITE II, MYRON C. TAYLOR and GEORGE A. SLOAN to the Lower Lakes Towing interests was completed on March 31st, thus ensuring the opera­ ting future of these three venerable vessels that might otherwise have faced nothing but the scrapyard. CALCITE II has been renamed (c) MAUMEE, for the river which serves as Toledo's port; the TAYLOR is now (b) CALUMET, for the Calumet River at Chicago, and the SLOAN is now (b) MISSISSAGI, apparently named in honour of the Mississagi Strait of northern Lake Huron. The three vessels were rechristened in triple ceremonies (the first such in memory) which took place at Sarnia on April 21st. CALUMET's sponsor was Donna Rohn, wife of the president of Grand River Navigation; MAUMEE was christened by Martha Pierson, the wife of Robert Pierson, and MISSISSAGI was sponsored by Judy Kehoe. Following the ceremonies, the fitting out of the three motorships was com­ pleted, and they look great in Lower Lakes colours. MISSISSAGI is registered at Nanticoke, Ontario, and bears the Lower Lakes Towing Ltd. name on her bows. CALUMET and MAUMEE are registered at Cleveland, and the company name showing on their bows is Lower Lakes Transportation Inc. Interestingly, the first of the ships to enter service was the one whose future was most in doubt before the sale. MAUMEE departed Sarnia on April 28th, bound for Stoneport, and her first cargo took her to Saginaw, where she arrived on the morning of May 1st.

During deglaciation from 21-7.5 ka BP, and owing to the interactions of ice margin positions, crustal rebound and regional topography, this basin was much more widely connected hydrologi- cally, draining by various routes to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, and receiving over- ~ flows from lakes impounded north and west of the Great Lakes-Hudson Bay drainage divide. /~ Early ice-marginal lakes formed by impoundment between the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the southern margin of the basin during recessions to interstadial positions at 15.5 and 13.2 ka BE In ~ ~i each of these recessions, lake drainage was initially southward to the Mississippi River and Gulf of ~ Mexico.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. (W.D. Forrester) Department of Physics The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 3, Canada. Date April, 1961. ABb2ftACT A current is observed to flow most of the time through Little Current Channel, between North Channel of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The current varies considerably in its speed, and frequently reverses its direction. Inconvenience is experienc• ed by ships wishing to pass through the narrow and shallow chann el at Little Current, as they must await an opportunity to do so at slack water or on an opposing current. A field survey was carried out during the summer of 1959 in the vicinity of Little Current, Ontario, to determine the cau ses of this current and to ascertain whether or not predictions for the state of the current might be made sufficiently in ad• vance to be of assistance to shipping in the area.

  • The Pilot of La Salle's Griffon
    The Pilot of La Salle’s Griffon Joe Calnan L’explorateur français Robert Cavelier de La Salle (1643-1687) avait un petit caboteur à voile gréé en barque construit en 1679 pour voyager entre la rivière Niagara et le lac Michigan. La Salle a embauché un pilote qualifié et expérimenté pour mener le navire sur ces eaux, mais en moins de neuf mois suivant le début de son emploi sur les Grands Lacs, le pilote avait perdu deux barques qui lui ont été confiées et a disparu avec l’équipage entier. La perte du Griffon de La Salle a été chroniqué par le missionnaire récollet Louis Hennepin, et est devenu l’un des grands mystères des Grands Lacs . Aujourd’hui, le pilote a acquis une notoriété comme un grand hérétique danois, de mauvaise humeur, grand de sept pieds, nommé Luke Dare; mais si ce personnage a son fondement dans les sources primaires ou dans le folklore n’a jamais été clairement établi. En examinant systématiquement les origines de l'information que nous avons sur le pilote dans les documents autant primaires que secondaires, le présent article tente de séparer le folklore des sources vérifiables et mettre en lumière une image plus précise du pilote du Griffon de La Salle. At the ship’s helm was an odd sort of character. Standing seven feet tall, Luke the Dane was known for his violent temper and an attitude that spoke “does not work well with others.” Yet he was a good pilot and was needed if the Griffon was to be a success.1 We saw near the village of Matchinkoa a tree from which the bark had been removed three or four years ago, and on which was depicted a man with a tapabord hat pulled down below his ears, a grey justaucorps, breeches, short legs, a big beard, and a gun in his hand, another figure near him, tied up like a slave, and four scalps.2 When Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle was given permission by Louis XIV to 1 Colleen Burcar, It Happened in Michigan: Remarkable Events That Shaped History (Guilford, 2010), 8.

  • The Flora of Cockburn Island, Ontario, Canada
    73 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 53 THE FLORA OF COCKBURN ISLAND, ONTARIO, CANADA Ellen Elliott Weatherbee 11405 Patterson Lake Drive Pinckney, MI 48169 [email protected] ABSTRACT The vascular flora of Cockburn Island , Ontario , Canada , was inventoried, previous collecting sources combined, and the nomenclature updated. Cockburn Island lies on the Niagara Escarpment between Drummond Island , Michigan , U.S.A. and Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada ; hence lime - stone dictates most of the substrate of the island. The plants currently on the island reflect the activ - ities of the owners of the past 135 years, in which the island has gone from wilderness, to partially farmed and timbered land , and its eastern portion was burned. Since 2012 , a large portion is pre - served, having been purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada. All of these changes have af - fected the flora . A total of 644 species of vascular plants in 103 families and 337 genera are now known from the island, including 112 non-native species. Old and new invasives were tracked and eradicated whenever possible. The island contains 22 natural plant communities, two complex natural areas made up of multiple plant communities, and eight artificial habitats. A plant list has been com - piled for each habitat. The author collected 48 species that were new to the island and 20 additional species that had previously been reported but that are not common. The following species of conser - vation concern were collected on the island for the first time: Adlumia fungosa (Michigan special concern), Botrychium lanceolatum (Ontario vulnerable) , Calypso bulbosa (Michigan threatened), Cypripedium arietinum (Michigan special concern), Cystopteris laurentiana (Michigan special con - cern), and Drosera anglica (Michigan special concern).

  • LAKE HURON the Ecology of the Fish Community and Man’S Effects on It
    LAKE HURON The Ecology of the Fish Community and Man’s Effects on It A. H. BERST and G. R. SPANGLER Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Research Branch, Maple, Ontario TECHNICAL REPORT No. 21 GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 145 1 Green Road P.O. Box 640 Ann Arbor, Michigan February 1973 FOREWORD This paper is one of seven lake case histories-Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Opeongo, and Lake Kootenay. Concise versions of these papers, together with other lake case histories developed for and by an international symposium on Salmonid Communities in Oligotrophic Lakes (SCOL) appeared in a special issue of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (Vol. 29, No. 6, June, 1972). While this and each of the others in this series is complete in itself, it should be remembered that each formed a part of SCOL and is supplemented by the others. Because much detail of interest to fisheries workers in the Great Lakes area would not otherwise be available, this and the other case histories revised and refined in the light of events at the symposium are published here. SCOL symposium was a major exercise in the synthesis of existing knowledge. The objective was to attempt to identify the separate and joint effects of three major stresses imposed by man: cultural eutrophication, exploitation, and species introduction on fish communities. Recently glaciated oligotrophic lakes were chosen as an “experimental set”. Within the set were lakes which have been free of stresses, lakes which have been subjected to one stress, and lakes which have been subjected to various combinations of stresses.
