The Museum of Great Lakes History and the Guild collaborated in an exhibit at the Detroit Boat Show, at the Detroit Artillery Armory, February 2, to 10, occupying 1500 feet of floor space in a very good location. This is the first time we have been given ample space and a free hand with planning, setting up, and the operation of an exhibit, and it paid off in every way. Eleven new members were attracted by our display of ship plans, publications, and the line drawings taken from TELESCOPE. Other visitors indicated that they would become members in the near future. Many of them had never been aware of either the Museum or the Guild, so we believe that we have made a lot of new friends for both. Not a little of our success is due to the consistent service rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Fairbanks and Bill Hoey. They reported for duty on schedule and attended to all the details connected with the project like oldtimers in the show business. The Boat Show was sponsored by the Detroit News and it was a pleasure to work with their staff. Their invitation to take a part in the event is deeply appreciated by both the Museum and the Great Lakes Model Shipbuilders* Guild. Two members of the Guild, Robert H.Davison, and your editor, served as judges in the Detroit News Model Sailboat Contest, an arduous task but a rewarding experience. Since the Boat Show was a complete success we may expect another one next year, so let's get ready for it with a lot more Guild-built models. THE GUILD Organized in 1952 to locate, acquire, and preserve information and objects related to the history of shipping on the Great Lakes and to make same available to the public through the Museum of Great Lakes History and the columns of Telescope. The construction of authentic scale models of Great Lakes ships is one of the prime objectives of the organization, which has brought into being the largest existing collection of models of these ships. The Museum of Great Lakes History, located at 5401 Woodward Avenue, Detroit 2, Michigan, is official headquarters for the organization and the repository of all of its holdings.
