#54 Excursion steamers Tashmoo and Idlewild at wharves, Detroit, 1901
This striking 1901 Detroit waterfront photograph captures the excursion steamers Tashmoo and Idlewild tied up at busy wharves, their decks crowded with passengers dressed for a day on the water. Flags flutter from the superstructures while smoke drifts from nearby stacks, giving the scene the unmistakable atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Great Lakes travel.
