I had just been in Cleveland OH for the christening of the Mark W Barker the newest ship for the Interlake Steamship Company and left there on the 2nd to go to Toledo and see the National Museum of the Great Lakes and then I continued on to Detroit where I made this stop at the JW Westcott Company and met up with Andrew Russell from Andrew Dean Detroit, who works p/t for Westcott so I was able to go aboard and ride out four times with them to service the ships that evening... Great fun
