Page 30 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • This year is the 75th anniversary of the Storm of 1913. In November the museum will open an exhibit commemorating this event. The Michigan Nautical Time Capsules exhibit will be taken out of the Robert E. Lee Hall at the end of September. Many museum visitors inquire about the tuture of the South American and when will she be returning to Mackinac Island. Word from the east coast states that the shipyard in Camden, New Jersey where she has been docked, will be tom down and the South American will be scrapped where she lies. Many plans were made to save her, but the total costs of such projects were more than the vessel was worth. Special events on Belle Isle that members should be aware of include the Spirit of Detroit hydroplane races on June 12 and the Grand Prix coming into town the following weekend. The museum will be closed on Saturday, May 21 for the annual 24-hour bike race on Strand Drive in front of the museum.

This recent parade of scrap tows will remind older members of the numerous scrap tows that occurred after the Seaway opened in 1959. This photo of the tugs Atomic and Patricia McQueen towing the Superior to the scrapyard at Port Weller was taken by Cliff Morrison.
