Page 6 DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM EXHIBIT 2005 Detroit Cobo Hall Boat Show This year's exhibit commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the American outboard motor industry. This special exhibit focused on various types of Detroit and Michigan outboard motors. The highlight of the exhibit was the original outboard motor which was put to a test by Cameron B. Waterman on the Detroit River in February of 1905. The first detachable row boat motor was attached to the stem of a fourteen foot steel rowboat, and was successfully tested. Launching from a dock on Grosse Ile, the small craft crossed and recrossed the river a number of times in spite of floating ice. John Polacsek, Rt., Curator of the Dosin Museum along with a volunteer, answer questions and distribute materials.
