March 24: Historic Cruise Ships of the Great Lakes with Don Callihan

Steam powered passenger vessels began plying the Great Lakes in the early 19th century. Reliable port-to-port service increased demand, so larger and more luxurious vessels were built. As railroads began to dominate the passenger business, Great Lakes steamship companies were losing money. To increase revenues, companies expanded excursions to summer destinations aboard palatial ships designed to entertain as well as transport, and thus the era of Great Lakes cruising was born. Don Callihan will take you through this era with photos and stories of the amazing ships that sailed the Great Lakes and docked along the Detroit River until 1968.
