EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Frank E Kirby Steamer leaving Detroit, Michigan, USA, for Put-in-Bay village on South Bass Island in 1907. The Frank E Kirby was a paddlesteamer, a type of steamship with a paddle wheel at the back, which was a common mode of transportation during the early 1900s in the United States. The steamer is shown here in full regalia, ready to embark on its journey across the waters of Lake Erie. Passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen waving goodbye from the deck as the steamer begins to pull away from the dock. The Detroit skyline can be seen in the background, a bustling hub of industry and commerce in the early 20th century. Put-in-Bay, located on South Bass Island in Ohio, was a popular summer destination for tourists during this era. The island offered visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake. The Frank E Kirby Steamer was an essential link between Detroit and Put-in-Bay, providing passengers with a scenic and enjoyable journey across the lake. This photograph is a charming souvenir from a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of Detroit and the Great Lakes region. The intricate details of the steamer, the passengers, and the Detroit skyline make this a must-have for anyone interested in American history, transportation history, or the history of Great Lakes tourism.
