Someone sent me a book on the name of the person the Queen City ship was named after. Some of you know that I'm on a little ad hoc team to find the Queen City sunken ship; partial hobby and partial serious. It was named after Queen Marinette. I'm looking into that association but it seems to make some sense considering the area and location. I will be spending a little time reading through this book just to see if there is anything worthwhile. If nothing else it provides some contextual information of the era and possible associations with local peoples and tribes.
Hopefully this summer, slips were all taken in Escanaba boat size so we have to check on Gladstone. I should be heading back to the area for a few weeks to get some housework done.
