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.

The Glass Hack

Submitted by Clare on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 9:33am.

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.

From the number of empties on the lower left, it looks as if these were not dry cruises.
