If the House were still there today it would be in the east bound lane of the new road right at George Usher's house. Mulberry trees grew around the little building and the fruit was eaten by the trolley patrons. The sketch is a composite of many memories. No photograph has been found to add or subtract any detail in the sketch. The building originally was all enclosed with windows on six sides and doors on the seventh and eighth side. The House was" attacked" so many times that windows and doors were removed and it stood in the above "open" manner for many years. The watering trough which is on the west bound tree lawn now was originally close by the House. The sketch was done by Shirley Bowers (Mrs. Robert H.). 1. C LIFTON PARK Here is a quote from the Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 10, 1934: "British Troop Disaster at Rocky River in 1764. Dead men's skulls - scores of them - and bones in a shallow grave. Cannon and musket balls, bayonets and guns, ancient coins, long buried in beach sands. Where? In the Dry Tortugas or in Pensance? No, right here in Rocky River! "From Hahn's Grove on the western side of Rocky River to our own Clifton Beach were found the above mentioned articles and remains. This was all brought to light by Arthur M. Hall of 16915 Detroit Avenue~ Lakewood. (Now the site of the Lakewood Y. M. C.A. buildings). Mr. Hall read the account in the Journal of the French Villyain in the Cleveland Public Library. "In the summer of 1764 Chief Pontiac was waging war on the British and American settlers. Detroit was in a state of seige. Colonel Bradstreet left Fort Niagara with 3,000 men. Destination was Detroit. His purpose was to relieve the garrison at Detroit. Two trips were made and each time some men were directed to Detroit by a land route and some by the Lake route. It was the second trip (returning from Detroit) made by water that proved disas­ trous. By the time of the second trip returning east it was October, a time of wicked Lake Erie storms. Bradstreet's fleet consisted of batteaux each boat being 46 feet in keel, and carrying 27 men with provisions for three weeks. The boats were lightweight for portage. "It was when the floating troops were between Cedar Point and Lorain that a storm blew up. Instead of seeking safe harbor at the Black River they kept going on and finally the rough seas were too much. They decided to beach at Hahn's Grove six-tenths of a mile west of Rocky River. During the landing process half the boats were lost in the rough surf. Boats were smashed, men drowned. Bodies and equipment were scattered and washed down the shoreline» up Rocky River to the Yacht Club Island and onto Clifton Beach. "Survivors clambered up steep cliffs with the aid of bayonets stabbed deep into the clay and shale to gain the top. The bayonets were found as late as the early 1800's still fastened in the cliffs. " These artifacts - bayonet» musket~ etc. are now in the Western Reserve Historical Society Museum. It was later uncovered that the French Villyain was Captain John Montreasor, chief engineer of the Bradstreet expedition. Adventurers Ahoy! Six brass cannon and a box were buried in some sandy pOint. There is no record of these items being reclaimed by the British. Which sandy point? Our Clifton Beach? *Upon further research reading loaned by Mrs. Margaret Butler it was found that this disaster has been in controversy for many years. There were two expeditions that ended in disaster. The first was in 1763 headed by Captain Wilkins and the second in 1764 commanded by Colonel Bradstreet. It was deducted by Dr. Jared Kirtland that the Wilkins expedition of 1763 was the one that washed ashore on Clifton Beach and the Yacht Club Islanci The one of 1764 occured in Rocky River at Hahn's Grove. There were many evidences of the disasters at both places. Dr. Kirtland saw and handled the remains found in hasty graves, and he saw the artifacts that had been uncovered by plow and shovel. *From Early History of Cleveland by Charles Whittlesey A plaque dedicated to Colonel Bradstreet and the disaster was placed at 22300 Lake Road, Rocky River, Ohio on Sunday, June 30, 1968 by The Connecticut Daughters of the Western Reserve. The Clifton Park lands we trod are the battle spoils of French, British and Indian wars. Clifton Park dwellers live in prime territory and prime waters. The land story of our section returns to 1795 in Connecticut when the Connecticut Land Company sold the unsurveyed Western Reserve lands sight unseen for about forty cents per acre. Early owners of Park lands were Judson Canfield~ Nathaniel Church, David Waterman, James Johnson, Timothy Chittenden, Penuel Cheney and two branches of Dwights. Through their heirs most of the land was bought by Ezra Nicholson and Israel D. Wagar. Wagar's great grandson, Kenneth Browne at 18138 Clifton Road has suffered the great irony about one hundred years later. the Browne lot has been partly taken for the right of way for the new roadway through the Park. All of the above mentioned landowners' property in the Clifton Park section was eventually bought by the Clifton Park Association. 3. The following pages are a record of two business ventures, The Clifton Park Association llnd The Clifton Park Land Improvement Company, that never reached the goals set by the men who invested their money and time in the idea of Clifton Park. In 1866 a group of Cleveland businessmen met and formed the organi­ zation known as The Clifton ---Park Association. These men were all successful businessmen.-- Most were officers of the companies they served. It was found that transportation was needed to bring Clevelanders to Clifton Park. By 1869 the men of Clifton Park had built a narrow gauge railroad and had bought three engines. The railroad was known as The Rocky River Railroad and nicknamed the Dummy. The three engines were named The Dan P. Rhodes, The Elias Sims and The Mark Hanna. Also in 1869 the Articles of Incorporation were signed and the Clifton Park idea was then a concrete business venture. The men of the Clifton Park Association had the idea of a huge resort area. The present Yacht Club Island was even considered in their plans. Old records show that Daniel P. Rhodes owned four-fifths of the island and Elias Sims owned one-fifth.

Evolving from a physical attachment to the human sense, the definition of taste has developed to become a matter of inclination and discrimination.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Melisa Freilino Office 216-377-1339 Cell 216-392-4528 [email protected] www.portofcleveland.com PORT OF CLEVELAND UNVEILS PLANS FOR EXPRESS OCEAN FREIGHT SERVICE TO EUROPE Cleveland-Europe Express will be the only scheduled international container service on the Great Lakes CLEVELAND, OH- The Port of Cleveland unveiled plans today to start a regularly scheduled express freight shipping service between the Cleveland Harbor and Europe, starting in April. The Cleveland-Europe Express Ocean Freight Service will be the only scheduled international container service on the Great Lakes. “Currently, local manufacturers use East Coast ports to ship goods to Europe, incurring additional rail and truck costs along the way,” said Will Friedman, president & CEO of the Port of Cleveland. “The Cleveland Europe-Express will allow local companies to ship out of their own backyards, simplifying logistics and reducing shipping costs.” The service will be the fastest and greenest route between Europe and North America’s heartland, allowing regional companies to ship their goods up to four days faster than using water, rail, and truck routes via the U.S. East Coast ports. The Cleveland-Europe Express is estimated to carry anywhere from 250,000 to 400,000 tons of cargo per year. This volume equates to approximately 10-15% of Ohio’s trade with Europe. “This service will be a game changer for manufacturers in the region, keeping shipping dollars local, while opening our shores to the global market in a new way,” Friedman said. Marc Krantz, chairman of the Port of Cleveland Board, said the organization pursued the express service to meets the Port’s strategic initiatives by growing the Port’s maritime business, increasing the Port’s financial stability, and increasing regional trade opportunities on behalf of Northeast Ohio companies.

  • The Lake Seamen's Union, the Lake Carriers' Association, and the Great
    An Unequal Clash: The Lake Seamen’s Union, the Lake Carriers’ Association, and the Great Lakes Strike of 1909 Matthew Lawrence Daley La grève des Grands Lacs de 1909 a été le point culminant d’une lutte de plusieurs décennies entre les marins syndiqués et la Lake Carriers’ Association. Les syndicats maritimes s’étaient efforcés de résoudre les problèmes d’identité, d’autorité et de solidarité depuis les années 1870. À la suite d’une défaite face aux travailleurs en 1901, les propriétaires de navires ont transformé leur association informelle en fédération capable de mettre en œuvre des politiques uniformes pour l’ensemble de ses membres. La défaite des travailleurs lors de la grève de 1909 est née de trois grèves précédentes (1901 à 1906); ensemble, ces conflits ont transformé l’industrie des Grands Lacs et permis aux marins de jouer un rôle dans le système industriel désormais transformé en société. The Great Lakes Strike of 1909 drew together all the factors that had been transforming the Lakes maritime industry during the prior two decades and produced a reshaped environment where sailors operated as components within a fully integrated industrial system. The strike stood as a breaking point between two eras, that of the independent and skills-based sailors as defined by sailing ships and small companies, and the corporate world of steel ships and intensive bulk freight commodity transportation. For vessel owners these same changes had shifted the industry into a high-volume, low-margin operation tied to expensive specialized equipment. Understanding the 1909 strike requires reviewing events and decisions that began years earlier.
