Description:
I'm not a ship specialist, but I think the vessels in these images show quite the variety of Great Lakes conveyances - from sailing yachts to steam ships to row boats. Readable names of vessels include: F. & P. M. No. 5, Cruiser, Cygnet, City of Collingwood, Garland, China, and the City of Toledo. At least one card shows a view looking up at Fort Mackinac from the dock. This card is not marked Koella, although the printing and card are similar to the others. Another appears to be Mackinac Island taken from Lake Huron. There are two unmounted photos as well, making 40 images total. The cards are c1875.The cards range from good to fine condition. The good ones have some photo scuffing and other marks. A few of the photos have a bit of fade.
