Schooners on the Great Lakes

Schooners, or ships with fore-and-aft sails on two or more masts, were once
the workhorses of the Great Lakes. During the nineteenth century, thousands
of schooners sailed the Great Lakes. They carried cargoes of lumber, grain,
iron ore, and even Christmas trees. They were cheap to operate and needed
only a small crew. The ships vanished from the Great Lakes in the early
twentieth century when bigger and faster steamships replaced them. 

UPCOMING HISTORY HOUNDS

Can You Dig It? Archaeology at Fort St. Joseph 

In 1998, Western Michigan University (WMU) archaeologists located the
long-lost site of Fort St. Joseph near present-day Niles. The French fort,
trading post, and Jesuit mission was founded in 1691 and abandoned after the
American Revolution. On October 10 at 7 p.m., come learn about WMU's
award-winning archaeology program and its latest discoveries about colonial
life.
