Tuesdays chill 30-mile per hour fall winds drove five steamers to Lily Pond for shelter from bad weather off Manitou Island. The wharfing of the steamers near the Upper Entrance made for a population of some 175 sailors in the restricted Hancock Township area. Here the Huron Cement Co. ship, S. I. Crapo is tied to mooring basis cleats while the larger Tomlinson vessel, Merton Farr, rests with anchor down and aft lines tied to cleats, aft of the Crapo. The Farr is one of its fleets largest vessels at 580 feet and 12,000 tons. The Crapo is only 384 feet long. [Impressive photo of the two ships side by side.] Scanned: November 21, 2007 |

"At the Quincy Mine Location, the biggest building boom occurred between 1892 and 1900. During this period the mine sunk several new shafts and greatly expanded its underground workings. Simutaneously, Quincy virtually rebuilt its surface plant to meet the increased demand for support services. In 1899-1900 the company erected this machine shop to augment both its repair and fabricaton facilities."
