February, 1912 THE MARINE REVIEW 73 into the possession of a few of the highly 'prized lithographs of the tug Champion and her tow in the rivers. @In the early 60's 93 per cent of lake tonnage was sail. All iron ore shipments were carried in schooners. The bulk freight steamer as it exists today was unknown. A fleet of tugs was engaged in towing the schooners through the rivers, among them the most powerful and fastest in the world. @ This phase of navigation has wholly disappeared but has been most beautifully preserved pictorially in this lithograph of the Champion and her tow, delicately printed in water color pigments. No collection of lake marine views is complete without this celebrated lithograph. | q The nominal sum of $1.50 each has been placed upon the stock remaining; or the lithograph will be suitably framed and delivered, express prepaid, upon remittance of $5.00.
