1930s Detroit - sled sailing

The Ironton ferry crossing Lake Charlevoix at the turn of the last century. (For you out of state followers who may not have heard of it, it is still operating! - It takes 5 minutes and will cost you $3 if you take your car)

Summer Road Trip! On June 17, 1915, Edsel B. Ford (and a few other sons of Detroit industry) heading out of Dearborn for a cross-country road trip. Ford drove a Model T, naturally, while his friends came along in a Cadillac and a Stutz. They were headed to San Fransisco for the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition (World's Fair) and arrived, after a few mishaps, on July 25th. The photo below was taken on Day Three when mud got the best of them just outside St. Louis, Missouri.
