On the Detroit/Windsor Ferry: 1924

Before the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit/Windsor tunnel were built in 1929, ferry boats ran between these two international cities on the Detroit River. Here's my grandmother, her sister, and my aunt Dana on the D&W ferry boat "Promise" in 1924. Note the name on the life preserver. View full size.
Unique outfit!

The little girl's outfit is very cute and quite unique, I think! I can't imagine putting satin on a little girl, except for church or something fairly formal wear. I'll bet she was asked to be very careful!
