Valley Camp
Video done by UPGRAPHICS.COM
The Valley Camp was launched in Lorain, Ohio, in 1917 as the Louis W. Hill for the National Steel Corporation. She sailed for this company for 38 years hauling iron ore and coal until 1955 when she was sold to the Wilson Marine Transit Company. It was in this fleet that she received her current name. For this company she carried a wider array of bulk goods including grains and stone. The Valley Camp was a member of the Wilson Fleet only until 1959 when the Republic Steel Corporation bought her and several of her Wilson fleetmates, including her identical sister the Silver Bay (formerly the Albert Heiken of National Steel). Republic kept the Valley Camp's name, and for that company she hauled iron ore and coal to their mills in Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; and Indiana Harbor, Indiana. In 1967, the Valley Camp sailed her last. Her age was not an issue at this time, it was her triple expansion engine that was still being fed by coal burning boilers that doomed her to an early retirement.
Purchased by Le Sault de Sainte Marie Historical Sites, Inc., for $10,000, the ship was towed from Wisconsin to Sault Ste. Marie on July 6, 1968, during Sault Ste. Marie's tri-centennial celebration. As a museum ship, the Valley Camp is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have the opportunity to explore and look in every nook and cranny of the ship. In addition, the cargo hold houses hundreds of artifacts, paintings, shipwreck items, models, two lifeboats from the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, and exhibits of objects related to maritime history. The Ship, now being used as a museum is well kept and has brought in many tourists to Sault Sainte Marie. It has now been a part of the Sault Sainte Marie community for 44 years.
The Valley Camp stretches 550 feet (170 m) overall with a 525-foot (160 m) keel. Other dimensions of the ship include a beam of 58 feet (18 m) and a depth of 31 feet (9.4 m). Her gross tonnage capacity is 12,000 gross tons. The ship was powered by a 1,800 horsepower (1,300 kW) triple expansion reciprocating steam engine which she retains to this day. Never the flagship of the fleet, her quarters were spartan yet comfortable. The crews quarters are lined by wood trim and equipped with simple bunks. The wheelhouse is lined with wood and trimmed by brass. Her original steering wheel is in place. In the stern, her original smokestack, including her double chime whistle are still in place. Almost unmodified from her original configuration, she is the most intact example of the classic Great Lakes ore carriers that once numbered in the hundreds and few of which survive to this day.
Food in the Garden 2014: The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes region was integral to the War of 1812, a front for several naval and land conflicts such as the assaults on Ft. Meigs and the Battle of Put-in-Bay. Once referred to as the Eden of the West, the Great Lakes region included hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness, rolling rivers, and dense forest encompassing modern day New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The region was home to the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Iroquois tribes, who valued the waterways as a means of life. With the increasing demand for elbow room, European-Americans began to extend their reach westward into relatively unfamiliar territory with the hope of thriving off of abundant, fertile land. With them came exotic and—in some cases—invasive species never before seen in the region such as apples, peaches, swine, and other fare that would come to define the region. How did the introductions of new plant and animal species affect the cultural foodways of the people who lived there and continue to live in the region today?
200 years later, this region is the cultural center of the Midwest with over 32 million people living along the lakes. Although early settlements have come and gone, many heirloom seeds native to this region have stood the test of time and there is an ever-present effort to preserve them, not only for consumption but for their cultural significant as well.
Panelists: Jodi Branton, National Museum of American Indian; Rick Finch, interim director of the Glenn Miller Birth Place Museum and former site manager of Fort Meigs: Ohio’s War of 1812 Battleground; and Tim Rose, geologist at the National Museum of Natural History and cider maker with Distillery Lane.

Michigan Central Railroad Locomotive Shops - Jackson, Michigan
See the full video here:
Miller Trucking & Storage Co. is the proud owner of the former Michigan Central Railroad shop facilities at Jackson Yard, which permanently closed as a repair facility in the mid-1970s. After a series of fires, Miller Trucking rebuilt most of the interior of the historic shop buildings that are now utilized as warehouse and storage space for large equipment and machinery for customers.
Also on site at Miller Trucking is a former Penn Central boxcar, which was moved to Miller in 2017 from another business in Jackson. The boxcar was left in place with the rails removed in the 1970s. The business it was left next to used it as a storage shed for many years until it was decided the boxcar needed to be removed from the property. It is uncertain what will become of this boxcar, but for now, it’s safe at Miller Trucking.
Warehouse no. 5 is the former Michigan Central Railroad locomotive shop. It’s also the same building where the unloaded steel coils are stored. Miller uses a track mobile to shove the cars into the facility and utilizes overhead cranes to place the coils on the shop floor. This building was where the Michigan Central and later New York Central built and repaired steam locomotives for nearly eighty years. The other major locomotive and car shop facility on the Michigan Central was at St. Thomas, Ontario.
In spring of 1949, the shops closed temporarily because of a Toledo coal strike and were supposed to re-open in July of that year. However, because of changes in the railroad industry and the gradual transition from steam to diesel, it was decided that the shops would no longer be utilized as a steam locomotive maintenance facility. The remainder of the buildings in the yard were utilized for generalized repair and storage until Conrail leased and later sold the property to Miller in the late-1970s.
