Michael M. Dixon, "When Detroit rode the Waves", Mervue Publications, 2001, has quite a bit of the history and pictures of the Detroit River, St Clair Flats, and St Clair River steamers. Of particular note was the Detroit & Windsor Ferry Company which changed its name to the Detroit, Belle Isle, & Windsor Ferry Company after the city opened Belle Isle [[Hog Island) as a recreation area.
My parents met each other on a Central High School cruise on the Tashmoo.
