Canadian Pacific Canadian Pacific Isicrric $$$C+**&&^<st APTURE the thrills that surround a delightful voyage C of the Great Lakes by sailing into the golden west across Georgian Bay. Glamorous tales are told of this now famed Summer Waterway. In 1615, Champlain and his Indian friends blazed a trail to this Bay by way of Lake Nipissing and French River thinking to find a path to the Orient. That path was never completed, but in its stead is a story of Indian warfare, the martyrdom of Jesuit missionaries and the pluck and resourcefulness of explorers, fur traders and lumbermen. Over 30,000 islands dot the shores of Georgian Bay— islands among the oldest known to geologists. Of these the first easterly group is the Christian Islands — Faith, Hope and Charity — now Indian reservations of the Ojibway race. Far in the distance are the Blue Mountains of Collingwood, and to the right a group of rocky islands — the Westerns, where stands a friendly lighthouse. There is gentle beauty in the tree-clothed slopes of the shores, a sharp contrast to the rocky pine-clad islands. Canoes, yachts and sail­ boats ply to and from the mouth of the Severn River — summer cottages and camps form colourful patches along the shores. Westward is Bruce Peninsula where stands Cabot Head, the lime stone cliffs extending to Cape Hurd, and what looks like a flower pot stuck in the waters is Flower Pot Island. High on its rocky cliffs is perched a lighthouse. Still westward close to the boundary line is Cove Island. Midnight, the stars grow brighter, the moon sheds silver spangles across the bay.

  • West Michigan Pike, the First Continuous Hard Surface Road Along the Lake Michigan Shore, Had Already Been Completed
    Recreation/Entertainment – Theaters 246 The Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, 425 West Western Avenue, Muskegon Originally known as the Michigan Theater, the theater was built in 1929 by Muskegon movie mogul, Paul Schlossman. The Moorish themed theater was designed by Michigan’s premier theater architect, C. Howard Crain of Detroit, and cost $690,000 to build. It opened on September 17, 1930. Almost thirty years later the theater was “modernized.” It closed in the 1970s until a citizens group organized to save it. Funding came from the Community Foundation of Muskegon County through a gift from local industrialist A. Harold Frauenthal. In 1992 Muskegon County voters approved a bond issue to renovate the theater and work began in 1998. Getty 4 Drive-In Theater, 920 Summit Road, Muskegon This drive-in was constructed in 1949 by Nick Kuris of Muskegon and was originally known as the N-K Drive-In. Jack Loeks purchased the outdoor theater in 1967, changing the name to the Getty Drive-In. In 1980 the Getty added three additional screens. The original screen was damaged in an October 2005 storm and removed in 2006 for safety reasons, though the metal frame still remains. Harbor I & II 1937 Lakeshore Drive, Muskegon The theater originally opened in 1921 as the Rivoli Theater. It was renamed Our Theatre in 1931. In 1977 the theater suffered a major fire.

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND The Town of Midland, a forward-thinking municipality, occupies a unique position in the Heart of Georgian Bay. The S.S. Keewatin (“Kee” or “Ship”), a 1907 Ocean Liner museum ship, is located nearby in Port McNicoll, its home while in the CPR’s Great Lakes service from 1912 to 1965. It returned there in 2012, a century after its first arrival, to be the centerpiece of a heritage focused community being developed by a subsidiary of Skyline Investments Inc. Skyline is a Toronto based developer and operator of hospitality properties, which in 2011 started its multi-million dollar involvement in the S.S. Keewatin by repatriating the Ship, from its mooring, since 1967, in Lake Kalamazoo, Michigan to Port McNicoll.

  • Lake Michigan Surf Newsletter
    Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation April 2012 Issue 4 Lake Michigan SuRF Newsletter Nelson Sails His 60 th 100 Miler Race By Brian Chaltry Ed Nelson, a member of Marinette and Menominee Yacht Club, sailed his 60 th 100 Miler, hosted by his club, on July 21. Nelson has retired from the captain's spot and consistently sails as crew on Eagle XXX out of M&MYC. Folks may know him better by his former boat's name: Challenge. Nelson’s first 100 Miler was with his father in 1946 or 1947, when the schooner was a common rig, and sails were still made from cotton. One of his most memorable 100 Milers was a long one - the race started Saturday morning and finished at 1:30 AM the next day. He won by 17 seconds. By far, however, his favorite memory of the 100 Miler is winning the race on a 28' wood sloop that he built himself, about 10-15 years ago. Nelson’s kept a written personal memoir of his sailing experiences. He figures all in all he’s done 900 total races (not just 100 Milers). Be sure to congratulate him for this notable feat. Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Drops 2 Flares from Required List By Bill Tucker, Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Communicating Secretary On July 9 the Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Board approved the elimination of the 2 orange smoke flares from the GLSS required equipment list. This action is consistent with action taken by other race committees. It was the Board's feeling that the 4 SOLAS flares and 4 aerial flares, along with the other requirements, are adequate safety measures.
