Telescope -87- - v - HIGH AND DRY By William h. Hoey Pictured above is STE. CLAIRE under site and survey inspection in September, 1959, at Ecorse, Michigan. SAINTE CLAIRE was the last of three steamers built for the Detroit and Windsor Ferry Company's Detroit and Bois Blanc service. COLUMBIA of 1902 and BRITANNIA of 1906 were built by the Detroit Shipbuilding Company. STE. CLAIRE was built in 1910 by the Toledo Shipbuilding Company as their hull #116. Her measurements are 181 x 50 x 14.9, 870 gt, 509 nt, which place her between the larger COLUMBIA and the smaller BRITANNIA. Her triple-expansion engine (20 3/4"-32"-50%" x 36") is rated at 1083 I.H.P. Two single-ended boilers were built for her in 1910 by the Marine Boiler Works. STE. CLAIRE is pictured below returning from Bob-Lo at 12:00 noon one Sunday with a light load of people who would rather ride the boat than walk the Island.
