Page 123 We stopped along the way to view the Bob-Lo vessels in storage along the Detroit River. The STEAMER STE. CLAIRE and STEAMER COLUMBIA were docked side by side. Many on board achieved great photographs as Captain Bill Hoey guided the DIAMOND BELLE into the Nicholson cut. Cameras were again front and center as we passed the upbound vessels CANADIAN LEADER and LEE A. A tug in drydock at the Nicholson Cut TREGURTHA. The DIAMOND BELLE arrived at the Bob-Lo docks at 11:15 AM where the passengers were welcomed by current owner John Z. Oram. He provided background information on the island's new status as a residential community and gave basic directions to the pavillion area. Lunch was served to everyone shortly after 12:00 PM. After filling up with steak, potato, and salads, everyone was on their own to explore Bob-Lo. Although it was sad to see areas such as the log flume ride, the roller coaster, and amusement reminants on the island today, the island is taking on a new image.
