TAKE A HISTORIC CRUISE BACK IN TIME...

 
A Summer Cruise Along the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers aboard the Riverboats of the Early 20th Century.

In When Detroit Rode the Waves  the reader boards the palatial Steamer Tashmoo for a full day excursion from Toledo to Port Huron with stops in Detroit and many of the parks and resorts along the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, in an era when Detroit was home to the nation's largest fleet of excursion and passenger ships.  Over 190 rare images, including 40 color pages with period post cards, vividly illustrates the historic cruise. 
The collection of images combined with descriptive text captures a rare glimpse of the early 20th century and allows us to enjoy a bit of a grand era that many of us never knew. Contents include a history of postcards and two of their most important producers, Louis Pesha and The Detroit Publishing Company.  This is a must have book to enhance Life at The Flats!
