Boblo Boat?

[Chuck Truscott]

No, it's not any of the Mackinac Island ferries either. I'm not convinced it was even a Great Lakes boat, at least not one that I have ever seen a picture of.

Here are some screen captures

It looks like an excursion boat used out of Sandusky, Ohio to Put-in-Bay and or Pelee Island in Lake Erie. Maybe an old one not around anymore? The aerial shots could be Sandusky Bay?

No, not a Bob-Lo boat, not sure what boat that is. Is that "Mr. Whipple" the "Don't squeeze the Charm'in" toilt paper commercial guy?

[Charlie]

No, it's not, though it appears to be some sort of an excursion vessel.

[Don]

No. The hulls are not the same on the Columbia or Ste. Claire. Notice no portholes towards the stern on the Boblo boats.

[Ian T]

I don't think it is; that one shot near the middle looks nothing like the Columbia or Ste. Claire. The stack is different, besides.

[Paul]

It is not the Columbia or Ste. Claire, it looks more like a 50-70's era Mackinaw Island ferry but even with that in mind the stack and deck configuration doesnt seem right.

[Mike]

Does not look like either the St. Clair or Columbia.
