B.H. Taylor
"Sunday Nov 14, 1937
boat loading limestone
at Rogers City Mich."
B.H. Taylor was launched on September 1, 1923 at Lorain for Rogers City-based Bradley Transportation (a division of US Steel). She was renamed to Rogers City in 1957, and scrapped in 1988.
The Milwaukee Public Library has several pictures of this then-new ship helping build Milwaukee's breakwater in 1924. According to the Milwaukee contractor, Edward E Gillen Company, the Taylor was the "Biggest, best, & fastest self unloader in the world." Perhaps in 1924, but at 522 feet she was not a large ship.
I was unable to find anything about the person this ship honored except that he was one of Carl Bradley's pallbearers, which likely means (or verifies) that he was a Steel Corp executive. Any assistance would be appreciated.
