| _ the Loc ee | From J. W. Bissell come tidings of Holland, Mich., including the name change for the Black River that empties into Lake Macatawa. It is now officially the Macata- wa River which seems reasonable. Also the lighthouse at the Maca- tawa entrance to Holland Harbor has been declared an historical attraction, saving it from demo- lition. More exciting was the 41-foot cabin cruiser that was driven on the south breakwater of Holland Harbor by heavy seas as she was returning to Holland from Saugatuck. Mooring lines were later cut to halt pounding and the $60,000 vessel sank in eight feet of water. More for- tunate was the RICHARD J. REISS which the wind drove onto the bottom in the Holland Harbor turningbasin. The tug JOHN M. SELVICK quickly got her free and as the bottom is sand and mud no damage was believed done. And from Perry Haughton a batch of news from the Port Huron-Sar- nia-St. Clair River area incluéd- ing a clipping from the Times- Herald at Port Huron of CLIFFORD F. HOOD under tow of tug TABOGA on her way from lay-up at Duluth to Union Pipe & Machinery, Lbd. who bought her for scrapping. He also sent T-H photos of the dis- mantling of the cofferdam at the Detroit Metropolitan Water Ser- vice raw water intake five miles out in Lake Huron and the intake under construction at Point Hd- ward for the Lambton water sup- ply project. It will provide the water for Sarnia and much of the Lambton County area just as the Detroit project will supply much of southeastern Michigan. Also a copy of Skip Gillham's article on the MAPLE HILL that ran in the Port Huron paper. Plans are underway to provide a containerized cargoes between Detroit and Semit, Inc. (Southeast Michigan International Terminal) reports agreement with Windsor barge service for Windsor. ‘Harbour Commission for the ser- vice and has leased property at the foot of Southfield in Ecorse for a barge port onthe U.S. side of the Detroit River. Cargo from Europe is to be shipped by rail from Nova Scotia to Windsor and barged across the river for distribution by rail and truck to U.S. destinations. A slight oversight put the JOHN J. BOLAND on the bottom off the Detroit waterfront for 17 hours. Loaded with limestone for the R,naissance Center now building, the BOLAND was drawing 26 feet but Capt. Wilbur S. Buswell had no fears. He had been told that McKEE SONS had docked there with limestone and loaded to 26-foot draft. The oversight .was that McKEE SONS had offloaded part of her cargo before reaching docks
