A rare treat...
I spent many a summer here. This trip to the past is an unexpected treat.
Bloomer Girl
US3679, originally named Bloomer Girl was built in 1894 as an excursion vessel. Under that name, she operated between Milwaukee and Frederick Pabst's Whitefish Bay Resort. Renamed Silver Spray, she was moved to the Little Traverse Bay area in 1903. Lincoln Park Boat Line of Chicago acquired her about 1911, and she met her end on there on Morgan Shoal, July 15, 1914.
