Almost 400 new photos not seen in volume I. This stunning collection of images depicts the "golden age" of car ferry service on the Great Lakes.
These very rare and unique views are sure to provide the historian and maritime enthusiast with hours of enjoyment. Many of the detailed photographs will also provide scale ship model hobbyists with additional information on each vessel in the Ludington carferry fleet.
Working as a wheelsman aboard the Pere Marquette 22, Erhardt Peters photographically documented the history of the Pere Marquette car ferries in the 1920's and 1930's. His talent behind the lens has left us all a legacy of unforgettable images of a time long past in the maritime history of the Great Lakes.
Almost 400 additional views of the Pere Marquette Railway Lake Michigan car ferry fleet and close-up detail views taken on board the ship, and of other Great Lakes vessels,and fellow crew members are included in Volume II.
