For the first time in years TASHMOO, grandest of Detroit's excursion ships, extended her season past Labor Day by a week to profit from the traffic. TASHMOO was the flagship of the White Star Line, which ran day steamers from Detroit up to Port Huron and down to Toledo. From Detroit TASHMOO of 1900 made the north- ward round trip each day in summertime, calling at St. Clair River ports and the company's amusement park, Tashmoo Park, in the St. Clair Flats. Opposite her was the small passenger and freight propeller WAUKETA of 1909, leaving Port Huron each morning for the round trip to Detroit and back. There were three big sidewheelers running between Detroit and Toledo, GREYHOUND of 1902, OWANA of 1899 and CITY OF TOLEDO of 1891. Along the way they left excursionists from both cities at the com pany's other amusement park, Sugar Island, at the mouth of the Detroit River. The fancier day boats went into winter quarters in September, but WAUKETA continued as "winter boat" on the Port Huron run. OWANA was supposed to run late to Toledo, too, but retired prematurely for reported engine trouble. So WAUKETA served both routes until Sunday, November 9, when she made a final run to Toledo and back.
