great lakes ship model plans
For 17 years the fitzgerald hauled taconite iron ore from mines near duluth minnesota to iron works in detroit michigan, toledo ohio and many other ports. when launched she was the largest ship on the great lakes and remains the largest shipwreck of the great lakes as well.. A 375 foot ship, produces a model of nearly 47" long. however, for the largest great lakes ore freighters, the 1/16" = 1' scale makes a model such as the "edmund fitzgerald" about 45" inches long. this is large enough to show significant detail, but not so overwhelming in size that it cannot be displayed on a mantel or office desk.. The lake erie islands historical society at put-in-bay has a significant collection of models of historic great lakes ships as well as famous island area ships.. the ships ss seeandbee, lady elgin, vandalia, ss michigan, rouse simmons, ss south america, roger blough, edmund fitzgerald, ontario power, d.f. rose, milton, alaska, deprere, c.f. bielman, christopher columbus, mohegan, grampian.
