Peter Koenig
"July 10, 1939
Sandsucker Koenig
tied up at ft of
Chene St.
Detroit, Mich."
On the evidence, the Boruckis moved from Bay City to Detroit in the first half of 1939. Presumably Mr. Borucki migrated to the big city to find work....
This ship was built as a sandsucker named E. Gunnell in 1912, then renamed Peter Koenig when acquired by Detroit's Koenig Transportation in 1926. She'd be renamed Amherst when she was purchased by a Canadian firm in 1943, and converted to a tanker and renamed Transbay in 1952. She was lost off Quebec in 1972.
Some more information here, including lots of stuff about the work of a sandsucker.

I've just got to quote Greenberg's Namesakes 1956-1980 about this vessel's demise: "But, while enroute to that port [Havre St. Pierre, QC], under tow, the vessel foundered in Seven Islands Bay, Quebec in seven hundred feet of water, its asphalt cargo hardening to become an underwater paved surface."
