Vintage photos of:
Tashmoo Plus Two: 1912

Thanks Gramps!
My Grandpa painted ships in Detroit, I have a beautiful oil painting of the Tashmoo hanging on my wall that he did a few years before he died.
Sorry, honey
Couldn't get the money to take the cruise.
Studebaker
Is the name on the crating on the machine goods "Studebaker Corporation"?
[It is. - Dave]
And on the top deck
is the dutiful U-boat spotter.
The Glass Hack
This was the nickname given the Tashmoo. She had over 600 windows. She was a day steamer that sailed from Detroit every morning in the summer with a stop at Tashmoo Park to disembark picnickers. She continued to Port Huron with a short stop, crossed over to Sarnia headed back to Harsons Island to pick up the people after a outing at the park, returning to Detroit in the evening.
Built in 1901, she sank at Amherstburg, Ontario, in 1936 and was cut up for scrap.
99 bottles of everything.
From the number of empties on the lower left, it looks as if these were not dry cruises.
Barrels of bottles!
Looks like someone remembered to put the glass recycling out! Hope that isn't all beer !
On the dock
Those have to be the flimsiest shipping crates I've ever seen.

My gosh, if it isn't Paul Teutul Sr., of Orange County Choppers!
