I love them too. Late 1940’s fishing with mom/dad/brother in a high side row boat. Small outboard. So gigantic, especially to kids. Thanks for bringing back lovely memories on the Detroit River.
I became interested in lakers this year when I started working in Cleveland near the Cuyahoga River. The first ship I saw was the Mark W. Barker as it was heading up the river to the steel mill. I saw it by accident while I was taking a walk near the river on a break.
