Boblo Boat Ste Claire is burning

[mallory]

This is really sad. I worked on the boat as a DJ during the summer of '84. Hated the gig but loved being part of the whole Boblo tradition. Contrary to what others might think, we could not get off the boat. There were days that we waited all day on board for the evening return trip. $5 an hour. Just loved those old boats. I hope sister Columbia returns to our waters someday.

I guess it is wishful thinking to try to convince the Columbia owners to sell or return the Columbia to Detroit. If you check out their website, they have some notable shakers on their Boards, and are proceeding with necessary funding and
repairs before towing her to NYC.
