  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

Ewing, Ph.D. 3 4 1808 AMERICAN FUR CO. [1808-1834] The American Fur Company was the first organized company to influence the economic growth of Northwest Ottawa County, the entire Grand Valley, and other vast areas across the country. Started in Astoria, Oregon, the company was founded by John Jacob Astor in 1808 to compete with the Canadian fur companies. Astor’s operation in the Great Lakes was carried on under a subsidiary called the South West Company. The American Fur Company was reorganized in 1817, and in 1834 Astor left the business and new owners took over. The first trader Astor appointed to the Northwest Ottawa County area was a Frenchman, Joseph La Framboise, in 1808. When Joseph was killed the next year in a dispute with an Indian, his Indian wife, Madame La Framboise, took over his trading posts in the Grand River Valley.
