J.W. Westcott Co., Port of Detroit


Digital photograph of the J.W. Westcott Co., advertised as "Ship Reporters and Vessel Agents, in the Port of Detroit", located at the foot of 24th Street, Detroit, MI. The small fleet of tender ships provide support services for the passing lakers including postal holding and delivery, and ship-to-shore 24 hour service during the navigation season. The ship JW WESTCOTT II can be seen doing frequent delivery loops out to passing lakers. Also docked at the Westcott station are the PILOT and the fireboat CURTIS RANDOLPH.
