Old shipships of the Great Lakes 1920's to 1961
THESE ARE SCANNED PHOTOS. Digital cameras did not exist at the time these photos were taken
Take a look back in time with this slide show to the Glory days of the great cross lake passenger liners. Cross lake steamers were an important part of transportation in the 1st part of the 20th century. These luxurious ships where fitted with interiors on par with the Titanic. They ran year round in all types of weather. Voyages departed the ports of Muskegon, Grand Haven and Holland Michigan for Chicago. They carried freight as well as passengers and were known as packet steamers because of this. See the SS Alabama, SS South American, SS North American, the Northern Navigation Company United States, SS Cheboygan, SS Missouri, SS Milwaukee Clipper, SS Aquarama, Bob Lo Island Ferry and unknown passenger steamer; plus what I think is a 1920's high speed Rum Runner on the Detroit River During the failed Social Experiment Prohibition. See what happened to the SS Alabama,SS Aquarama, SS Milwaukee Clipper and the Bob Lo Island Ferry. The reliance on the Automobile and Air Travel spelled doom for these great passenger steamships. By 1961 the golden age of the Great Lakes Passenger Steamship was almost done. A victim of modernization. That left only the Milwaukee Clipper as the Survivor. But it too was victim of Progress. The Milwaukee Clipper made its last revenue voyage in 1970. It is now a floating museum which along with the Canadian Pacific Railroad Steamer KEEWATIN on display in Saugatuck Mich. The Keewatin traveled Lake Superior. Both have rare Quadruple expansion Steam engines in which steam from the boiler is used 4 times before being put to a condenser turning the steam into water which was discharge into the lake. The Keewatin & the Milwaukee Clipper are open for tours. The Keewatin has its original wooden superstructure and interior which was why it was taken out of service by the US Coast Guard as a Fire Hazard.
