Page 114 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • As the number of vessels sailing in Canadian and U.S. waters continues to dwindle, most of their history is now being preserved in small museums. We are glad to announce that The Nava! Institute Guide to Maritime Museums of North America by Robert H. Smith is now available at the museum. This guidebook includes information on individual institutions in Canada and the United States (Alaska and Hawaii), including location, highlights, events and hours of operation of each museum. All aspects of marine history are covered: lightships and lighthouses, museum-ships, and canals. As an added bonus, information on each museum's library holdings is included. This paperbook retails for $19.95 and should be packed with your camera when traveling along the water. MEETING NOTICES • Our next entertainment meeting will be held on Saturday, November 18th at 11:00 a.m. at the museum. Our guest speaker will be Mr. William Worden of the "Preservation of the S.S. Columbia Foundation". Mr. Worden will show slides on the history of the passenger vessel Columbia, which was built in 1902. As a reminder, the $2.00 admission fee to the Dossin Museum is waived for GLMI members. CONTENTS • Membership Notes, Meeting Notices, etc. The Edward L. Ryerson Celebrates Thirty-Fifth Anniversary "The Prohibition Navy" - Enforcement of the Volstead Act This Lady Never Had A Chance Great Lakes & Seaway News Published at Detroit, Michigan by the GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE ©All rights reserved. Printed in the United States by Macomb Printing, Inc. OUR COVER PICTURE. When the EdwardL. Rversou was launched for Inland Steel Company , she was one of the largest and most powerful ships ever built for Great Lakes service. Because the Ryerson would sail on Lake Michigan, she would easily surpass the cargo records set by vessels that had to sail across shallow Lake St. Clair and Detroit River. By the early 1970's, larger ships were under construction that would carry twice the cargo of the Ryerson. This photo was taken by Phil Clayton as the Ryerson was unloading at Inland Steel's Plant #2 in Indiana Haarbor on October 19, 1991. 114 115 by Philip P.
