Snider and Mike Davis begins with Henry Ford building the Rouge complex and the need for vessels to carry raw materials into the plant. Ford expanded his operations to the east coast, and, thus the Ford fleet was bom. From the early Eagle boats of World War I to the Lakers and ore boats, each segment of the fleet helped the Ford name become known world-wide.
