Joe, ask your mother if she remembers the Zura clan? Puzz, Pete, Mike, Jerry and the girls. Mike Zura was my grandfather and the rest were all great uncles, aunts and cousins. There were some great times on this little island. If these islands could only talk. Now it just sits in the middle of Lake Erie like so many of the others with no more stories to tell. What a shame.

you ain't lookin all that hot either, guy

as a boater this can be a real problem. I have a 36 ft boat at port clinton and every year in the fall i it ends up sitting in the mud at the dock! problem is, (besides mud in the intakes) when the water level rises, if not tied properly, your boat could be damage or even sink!! So if your new to llake erie's west end, look into this before you loose your baby!!

The last model year for the Mustang at Dearborn Assy was 2004, the 2005 Mustangs were built at the Mazda plant. I been driving semi for 33 yrs and spent many a hour in both. You take some fantasic pics, keep up the great work. Rich

Do you mean PERRY ST.. or MADISON ST?? It has taken me a long time to check my Panaramio "conversations", so please excuse me for that.

We have had a few fires on the Islands over the years.
In 1983 the BEER BARREL SALOON on Put in Bay burned to the ground in 45 minutes on Memorial Day weekend.

A terrace collapesed at LONZ Winery on Middle Bass Island, killing one person and injuring several others... in about 2002, or so. It has remained closed since then. The State of OHIO now owns all of the former LONZ WINERY property.

and Walleye's Bar on Middle Bass Island burned to the ground, a few years after that... and has been rebuilt.

You should receive notice of this reply in your email. I will check back later, if you don't.

Thanks for these pictures, and your comments in English, which I hadn't noticed until today.

I am sure there was MUCH NOISE when my grandma worked in the rail yard (as a teenager (?)during WWI. I think my Grandpa was on the RUSSIAN FRONT in those days. I think they were married after that. I don't think they would call them "good old times" in those times. But your pictures, surely convey the POWER of the FEELINGS that you speak of. I hope someday to visit this place, of my grandparents, before I die.

My grandma told me and my Brothers and sister, stories of working in the rail yard, and at the "ROUNDHOUSE"... when she ROTATED the TURN-TABLE when the locomotive was not fully centered on the turntable... and the locomotive "CAB" house on the turntable collided with another. And she got into "so much trouble" for that...

But, we laughed and laughed about it, when I was quite young... Late 1950s, I think.

Thanks again for bringing this strange and wonderful place, and memories of my grandma, closer to me today.

This "Blessing of the Fleet" thing, is mainly for Island Work boats and Aircraft. They let out school for it, so the kids could particapate at the dockside ceremonies...

Then they had "FREE EATS" at an unrestricted "vendor's convention" at the Beer Barrel. But too many "people" not connected to anyone who purchases "wholesale" food, showed up for the FREE FOOD, and took home too many FREE SAMPLES... so they put a stop to that. They also changed the date from April to a more hospitible "MAY".... and most people just "lost interest after that"... including me.

When I used to fly passengers back and forth for a living... I figured I needed all the HELP I could get, so I participated.

It could be the Jackson. Captain Brohl has retired from Interlake, and lives on Put in Bay with me these days. He skippered the "Sonny S" between PIB and Middle Bass Island last summer. Says he loves it... can take days off when he wants... doesn't have to be responsible for 1000 footer, and its crew... and he gets free meals at the BOARDWALK too. I may volunteer to be a deck hand for him next summer.
