Keweenaw (Steamboat), U14043, 30 Apr 1873

Description

Full Text: The stm. KEWEENAW, Capt. Stewart, returned Monday night at 10:00 from her trip to Detour, making both the outward and homeward bound voyage by way of the Canada shore of Lake Huron, meeting with no serious interference with ice. Capt. Stewart reports Lake Huron clear of ice from Thunder Bay to Mackinaw and Detour. The KEWEENAW proceeded beyond the latter point to Pipe Island, where the ice was found to be 2 ft. in thickness and quite firm. On the return voyage an attempt was made to land at Alpena, which was unsuccessful. From Thunder Bay to St. Clair, Capt. Stewart reports more ice afloat than any former period within recollection.
