J.F. Schoellkopf, Jr.
"Mon, May 30, 1937.
Taken from old 23rd Street Bridge.
Steamer Schoellkopf Jr down bound."
I believe this to be a Bay City location, but would welcome a correction. Looks like the "Old 23rd Street Bridge" would be where Lafayette crosses the river nowadays; the existing bridge was completed in 1938. There was apparently a temporary bridge at this site in 1937, which evidently replaced a 23rd Street Bridge built in 1902. This 1918 map suggests that Mr. Borucki's was an idiosyncratic usage. (By the way, the 1902 bridge was also a replacement, for a still earlier bridge.)
This is the first of seven photographs Mr. Borucki took of this ship. Schoellkopf was originally a straight-decker, built in 1907 as Hugh Kennedy by American Ship Building in Lorain for Buffalo Steamships. Sold to American Steamship Co in 1922 and renamed Schoellkopf. She was part of the Erie Sand fleet late in her life.
Converted to self-unloader in 1933, repowered in 1950 (steam turbine) and 1975 (coal to oil), with bow thruster added in 1960. Made last shipment in 1979; dismantled in Italy in 1980.
In 1967 this ship damaged the I-75 drawbridge at Zilwaukee, forcing traffic reroutes for several days.
Jacob Frederick Schoellkopf, Jr. was head of Buffalo-based National Aniline and Chemical Company, a major producer of dyes and other chemical products.
