c M.H.S.D. We present two more FLEET views of ships owned by members of our Society. Mr.Lee Miller of Put- In-Bay is owner of the Miller Boat Line, which operates the very modern motorships SOUTH SHORE and WEST SHORE in the pass- enger and auto ferry service bet- ween Catawba, Middle Bass and Put- In-Bay, and the AVON on cruises and charter parties. His water taxi service at Put In Bay is popular with yachtsmen, expecially during the annual Interlake Re- gata, where, day or night, the call "Mill-are" will bring prompt service. Mr.Henry Caulkins of Detroit is managing owner of the Waterways Navigation Co.,whose freighter RALPH S.CAULKINS has made a lot of marine history in these parts. The ship was built in 1902 as the J.M. JENKS for the Acme Transit Co., a division of the 01d Hawgood Fleet, (See DMH, v.3,no.2). After 1916 she was in the Pittsburgh Fleet as the R.R.RICHARDSON.
