S T A T IO N This 1912 advertisement recalls the Lake Michigan steamer CITY OF SOUTH HA­ VEN (U. S . 127731), built in 1903 by Craig at Toledo for the Dunkley-Williams Company, of Chicago. The line was reorganized in 1909 as the Chicago & South Haven Steamship Company. She was sold to the U. S. Navy in 1918 for salt wa­ ter service and later ran between Miami and Havana as (b) CITY OF MIAMI. The Crosby interests later brought her back to Lake Michigan as (b) E. G. CROSBY (II) for the Wisconsin & Michigan Line, which merged with Pere Marquette Line Steamers in 1934 to form the Wisconsin & Michigan Steamship Company. The CROSBY last ran in 1934, was damaged in the Sturgeon Bay shipyard fire of December 5, 1935, and her remains were scrapped during World War Two.
