Indiana - 100471

For many years in service for the Goodrich Line of Chicago (1890-1930) the "Indiana" was built of oak at Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1890. She ran with "Racine" between Chicago-Milwaukee, and night runs from Chicago to Grand Haven and Muskegon. She carried passengers and freight and this photo shows her before being rebuilt when an upper deck was added. Condemned in 1928, she was converted to a floating dormitory and used during the West Neebish Channel project in 1930 and towed for use during the digging of the Livingstone Channel in the Lower Detroit River in 1932. The vessel was towed to Monroe, Michigan in 1938, then to Toledo, Ohio where she was dismantled in 1939
