Both the American and Canadian shipping companies have retired a number of old-time favorites that were built before 1940 and sent them to the scrapyards. The Henry Ford II, which was built in 1924, is one of the few old-timers still operating on the lakes. This photo by Art Cortis was taken as she was bound for Toledo to load coal in March, 1979. iO Telescope is produced with assistance from the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, an agency of the Historical Department of the City of Detroit.
