Steel Trust Steamers
"Sunday Jan 16 1949
Steel Trust steamers docked at Monroe harbor for winter
Monroe, Mich"
That's 57 years ago tomorrow....
Governor Miller, Benjamin Fairless, Sewell Avery, Enders Voorhees, & A.H. Ferbert (I think)--three of the ships the Pittsburgh fleet called "Supers," and a couple comparable boats. Pretty impressive iron for the day, all lined up in a row six weeks before I was born.
I'm frankly amazed that our commenter called these "Steel Trust" boats in 1949. That essentially-derogatory label held on for a long time.
And that car, parked by the Fairless, is a neat touch.
-------
Great Lakes shipping closes down on January 15 (that's today) every winter. The boats take refuge where they may....
-------
I trimmed a lot of parking lot and a bit of sky out of this photo because I wanted to concentrate on the ships. And I've made the 3698-pixel-wide scan available because there's a surprising amount of detail visible from what was a tiny, messy print.
