Steve Haverty presents "The Great Lakes Steamship Society"

Thursday, February 16

7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Learn from the founding member of the Great Lakes Steamship Society, Steve Haverty, how this organization strives to preserve maritime heritage of the Great Lakes and focuses on its current special project the JB Ford.  From the 1905 and 1913 storms, through WWII, obsolescence in the 1950's, and finally the end of the JB Ford operating career in the 1980's, it seems that fate has always smiled upon her.  In the process, the JB Ford has gone from being an unremarkable workhorse of the Lakes to a time capsule of early 20th century steamship architecture and engineering.  This Evening Entertainment Series winter program will be held at Canal Park Lodge, 250 Canal Park Drive in Duluth from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Admission and parking are free!  For more information call 218-727-2497.
