PUBLISHED BY YOUNG, LORD & RHOADES, SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH.
MODERN FREIGHTER, LEAVING POE LOCK,
SOO, MICH.
Steamer "George W. Perkins," of the Pittsburg Steam-
ship Company's fleet, is one of the largest and finest of the
modern freight boats.
This picture shows her leaving the largest lock in the
world, the Poe, on her way to lower lake ports.
The largest boats on the great lakes, are 605 feet long
and no longer boats are liable to be built, for years to come,
the curves in some of the rivers being so sharp that the long
boats have some difficulty in making the turns. If these curves
are ever dredged out, by the U. S. Government, so as to
straighten them out, then the lake steamers can be built as
long as any on the ocean.
