[Michlib-l] Upcoming Event at BPL- Boblo Boats: A Detroit Ferry Tale

[Mick Howey]

Hello MIchlib-I,

Please join us in person at 2:00 PM on Sunday, June 4th for Boblo Boats: A
Detroit Ferry Tale.

When Ste. Claire and SS Columbia sounded their whistles, every Detroit kid
knew it heralded the coming of summer and the magic of ferrying over to
nearby Boblo Island Amusement Park. After 85 years of operation, these two
sister steamships – the oldest in America - awaken from a deep slumber to
find a devoted team of enthusiasts have set out to rescue them from their
deteriorating state. SS Columbia has been whisked away to New York while
Claire's fate rests in the hands of an unlikely band of heroes: a doctor, a
psychic, and an amusement park fanatic. Martha Reeves, the Motown
legend,narrates this revelatory fable-doc that’s full of heart and hard
truths about a challenging restoration. Join us for a showing of this local
documentary and a Q&A session with the filmmaker Aaron Schillinger. Tap here
