North American

North American
"North American
docked at Mackinac Island
July 17, 1938"

Passenger steamer North American was launched at Ecorse, Michigan in 1913 for the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company and cruised the lakes for the Georgian Bay Company until 1963; in 1964 she did ferry service across Lake Erie for Canadian Holiday of Erie, PA. She sank off New England in 1967; the wreck was located in 2006.

North American was 280 feet long; I've been unable to find her passenger capacity. Her slightly-larger sister ship, South American, had a similar career.

The Mackinac Island harbor's changed a bit in the intervening decades. I've been unable to determine the identity of the smaller passenger ferry alongside North American.
