Put-In-Bay and Mackinac Ferry Footage (c. 1950)
2015.011.049
Silent, color 16mm film consisting of a series of shots of Put-In-Bay, Mackinac Island, and Straits of Mackinac ferries taken by Ned Schwimmer. The film features the EASTERN STATES, MYSTIC ISLE, VACATIONLAND, CITY OF MUNISING, MACKINAW CITY, and CHIEF WAWATAM. The film's lead is labeled Photography by Ned Schwimmer, Gift of Charlotte & Henry Elsner and William Keller Sept. 1971.
The film begins with footage of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company passenger steamer EASTERN STATES arriving at the Put-In-Bay dock, as shot from the adjacent shore. The Erie Isles Ferry Company ferry MYSTIC ISLE is then shown docking from the same perspective. Next, a pan across the bay from atop Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial shows both vessels again.
The remainder of the film takes place in the vicinity of Mackinac. From inside a moving car, the camera rolls as the car approaches drives aboard the State of Michigan car ferry VACATIONLAND. From on board the VACATIONLAND, the camera catches two passing State of Michigan vessels--the car ferry CITY OF MUNISING, and the passenger ferry MACKINAW CITY. The film also contains several shots of passengers on the decks of the VACATIONLAND. The film ends with shots from the car as it leaves the VACATIONLAND, and of the CHIEF WAWATAM at dock.
The film is on a grey plastic reel labeled Easttown Studio[?] Car Ferry, Mackinaw, and the film is housed in a brown metal canister with a tape label marked Charlotte Henry on its underside.

Mackinaw City to Mackinac Island
This video is meant to be a meditation of sorts on crossing the straits from Mackinaw City to Mackinac Island in northern Michigan. Best to watch it full screen with no noise in the background. Headphones would be great. I love the hum of the ferry boat motor with the sounds to the waves and spray as the boat cuts through the water. Enjoy!

Mackinac Island Ferry
We took Star Line's Hydro-Jet Ferry to Mackinac Island.I got this video from them it looks a lot better than my own.
The barrier free decks of Star Line's Hydro-Jet Ferry enabled us to enjoy a panoramic view of the Straits of Mackinac, including the Mackinac Bridge.
We were amazed at the 35' roostertail spray produced by their Hydro-Jet.
Believe me you will want to travel aboard the boat everyone else is watching.

Boating To Mackinac Island From St Ignace, MI
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækᵻnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to an Odawa settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position as a center on the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park
The island can be reached by private boat, by ferry, by small aircraft, and in the winter, by snowmobile over an ice bridge. The airport has a 3,500-foot (1,070 m) paved runway, and daily charter air service from the mainland is available. In the summer tourist season, ferry service is available from Arnold Transit Company, Shepler's Ferry, and Star Line Ferry to shuttle visitors to the island from St. Ignace and Mackinaw City.
Motorized vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898, with the exception of snowmobiles during winter, emergency vehicles, and service vehicles. Travel on the island is either by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage. Roller skates and roller blades are also allowed, except in the downtown area. Bicycles, roller skates/roller blades, carriages, and saddle horses are available for rent. An 8-mile (13 km) road follows the island's perimeter, and numerous roads, trails and paths cover the interior. M-185, the United States' only state highway without motorized vehicles, makes a circular loop around the island, closely hugging the shoreline.
The island is the location of Mackinac Island State Park, which covers approximately 80 percent of the island and includes Fort Mackinac as well as portions of the island's historic downtown and harbor. No camping is allowed on the island, but numerous hotels and bed and breakfasts are available.
The downtown streets are lined with many retail stores, candy shops, and restaurants. A popular item at the candy shops is the locally produced and nationally known Mackinac Island fudge, leading to tourists sometimes being referred to as fudgies. Many shops sell a variety of fudge, and some of the confectioners have been operating for more than a century. The popularity of the fudge has led to the sales and marketing of Mackinac Island fudge not only throughout Michigan but outside the state as well
