GREAT LAKE MEMORIES 12. C IT Y OF CLEVELAND III B DECK PLAN We had hoped to be able to run this deck plan from CITY OF CLEVELAND III in the March issue, wherein we featured this remarkable vessel, but we did not have sufficient room. Accordingly, we bring it to you now. It is taken from the 1935 D & C brochure. Unfortunately, it does not include the Main Deck, which D & C called 'A Deck'. It does not really convey an appreciation of the size of the galleries fore and aft, but it does give a good idea of the layout of the staterooms, including the parlours. We do have one correction to the actual history of the D & C itself. The firm originally was known as the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Com­ pany, and it was only with the dissolution and reorganization of 1897 that the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company name was adopted. We extend thanks to Sterling Berry for providing us with this information. We thank all of the many members who contacted us to say how much they en­ joyed our history of CITY OF CLEVELAND III. We particularly enjoyed the re­ miniscences of those members who recall seeing the D & C ships, and CITY OF CLEVELAND III in particular, in operation. Your Editor regrets that he ne­ ver saw them in service, being just a bit too young at the time to be taken along on his father's marine excursions. We also are still hoping to find a menu identifiable as having come from CITY OF CLEVELAND III. * * * * * * *
