Not all Great Lakes maritime activity has to do with big ships. The Smiths, of Port Washington,Wisconsin, began their business enterprises on the Lakes with one small net and their worldwide caviar market grew from home-kitchen experiments. Their nationally-known "FISH SHANTY'1, shown here, had equally modest beginnings. They still operate their own fishing fleet which makes possible the serving of fish fresh from the water. See page 3
