Boblo Boat?
Re: Boblo Boat?
No, it's not any of the Mackinac Island ferries either. I'm not convinced it was even a Great Lakes boat, at least not one that I have ever seen a picture of.

Re: Boblo Boat?
It looks like an excursion boat used out of Sandusky, Ohio to Put-in-Bay and or Pelee Island in Lake Erie. Maybe an old one not around anymore? The aerial shots could be Sandusky Bay?
Re: Boblo Boat?
No, not a Bob-Lo boat, not sure what boat that is. Is that "Mr. Whipple" the "Don't squeeze the Charm'in" toilt paper commercial guy?
Re: Boblo Boat?
No. The hulls are not the same on the Columbia or Ste. Claire. Notice no portholes towards the stern on the Boblo boats.
Re: Boblo Boat?
I don't think it is; that one shot near the middle looks nothing like the Columbia or Ste. Claire. The stack is different, besides.
Re: Boblo Boat?
It is not the Columbia or Ste. Claire, it looks more like a 50-70's era Mackinaw Island ferry but even with that in mind the stack and deck configuration doesnt seem right.
