Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river.

  • 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.

  • Great Lakes Shipping Study
    UNCLASSIFIED Great Lakes Shipping Study This page intentionally left blank. National Protection and Programs Directorate Integrated Analysis Task Force Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center January 13, 2014 UNCLASSIFIED Executive Summary The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway (GLSLS) system is a vast, interconnected series of navigable waterways, with intersecting modes of transportation and landscapes. The enormity and importance of the GLSLS system cannot be overstated as the region is critically dependent upon it; therefore, it is vital to understand the nature of the system, the industries that rely upon it, its economic impact, and major commodities that flow through the GLSLS. This study provides an overview of the GLSLS system, focusing on geography, system infrastructure, economic and employment data derived from the GLSLS, and detailed analysis of three key commodities: iron ore, steel, and refined petroleum products. The GLSLS, which borders eight states and spans 2,300 miles, comprises Lake Superior, Lakes Michigan and Huron, Lake Erie, Montreal-Lake Ontario, and the Saint Lawrence Seaway, as well as the channels that connect these navigable sections. U.S. and Canadian companies and industries rely on the GLSLS for low-cost, long-distance transportation of raw materials and finished goods. In 2010, U.S. and Canadian companies that depend on the GLSLS for moving cargo reported revenues of over $30 billion, more than half of which was generated in the United States. The GLSLS is also responsible for the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs, providing direct employment for mariners, many types of port employees, and support positions within the companies, as well as creating indirect jobs that result from the spending power of the previously mentioned workers.

  • We Invite You to Sail the 107Th Running of the Chicago to Mackinac Race in 2015. Afterwards Cruise Michigan's Islands and Northern Harbors
    We invite you to sail the 107th running of the Chicago to Mackinac race in 2015. Afterwards cruise Michigan's islands and northern harbors. Stearns Boating [email protected] P 312-994-9153 C 847-404-2209 Make the race then take a cruise afterwards. The Race to Mackinac is the world’s longest running fresh water race. Started by a few wealthy Chicagoans who were looking for a fast way to get to their summer retreats on Mackinac Island. Up until now, it was hard and expensive for a non-Chicagoan to sail in this race. If you didn’t know someone with a boat, you would have to bring your own or charter one…both expensive propositions. The J/88 changes all of that. For a fraction of what it would cost to charter a boat, you too can experience the thrill of the race and the beauty of the region on your J/88. We have put together some information to help you think about the possibility and realize how easy it can be to mark this event off your bucket list. THE RACE The Chicago to Mackinac race is on July 11, 2015. For more information on the race to go Chicagoyachtclub.com. Registration is done by email, you must first apply for an invitation. So if you have never done the race it is best to start early. There is a space limit of just over 300 boats. Early application is encouraged as late entrants may not be accepted. GETTING YOUR BOAT TO CHICAGO This section gives you some general information on cost of launching and hauling your boat, and delivering trailers to northern Michigan.

Young round gobies are solid slate gray. Older fish are blotched with black and brown and have a greenish dorsal fin with a black spot. The raised eyes on these fish are also very distinctive (Jude 1993). This goby is very similar to native sculpins but can be distinguished by the fused pelvic fins (sculpins have two separate fins) (Marsden and Jude 1995).
