Wendy Anne
Following my previous post, the Wendy Anne quickly followed the Beaver Island Ferry into the channel at Charlevoix, Michigan. This handsome little ship was also built in 1955; one can see some information on it here. It’s also come from Beaver Island as we see the markings on the barge it is towing from there.
The lift bridge one sees in the final image, the US31-Island Lake Outlet Bridge, is interesting as well—is is a double-leaf bascule type. It first opened for service in the summer of 1949. One can read all about it here.
