The building of the ferry Cadillac is an excellent illustration of that demand for vessels of various classes for our own domestic purposes as population and wealth increases and traffic grows. The business maintained by this company is profitable and is constantly expanding. It may be that another year will make it necessary to still further increase the fleet. Passenger Cabin aft on CADILLAC Postscript: The Cadillac remained in service for ten years until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge (1929) and the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel (1930) made the ferry service unprofitable. During World War II she was sold to the U.S. War Shipping Administration and renamed USS Arrowhead for the U.S. Coast Guard. According to a newspaper story, "After World War II some of its auto space and cabins were transformed into more spacious day-cruising quarters and the Cadillac operated across Lake Erie between Cleveland and Erieau, Ontario." In 1949, the Cadillac was purchased at a tax auction for $48,000 by the T.J. McCarthy Steamship Company in Detroit. In November, 1952 she was sold to the Hamilton Harbor Commission for use in harbor excursions and renamed Lady Hamilton. The vessel was finally scrapped in 1962. Pilot House and Bridge Deck
