August 28: Enjoying the Ride: Michigan's Inland Lake and River Excursion Boats, 1835-2020
Maritime Historian Scott Peters will present on how excursion boats in Michigan evolved out of river steamers, and how they became popular entertainment at lakefront resorts, taking passengers on leisurely trips around lakes. In more recent years, the boats have become tourist attractions of their own and are common at many port communities (scroll down to register).
