Lake Loop 6: The Island

Motor vehicles –except two for the police and fire–are not permitted on Mackinac Island;  a RORO named Corsair runs supply trailers to the dock, where all cargo is transshipped onto wagons pulled by horses.

Corsair, that RORO, was built in Rhode Island by Blount in 1955.

Bicycles and horses provide transport on the island.

Horses require that straw and hay are

essential cargoes.

Landing craft are useful around the iIsland as well.

I’m not sure if this LC has a name, but LC-6050 is still legible.

Wooden craft like Maumee Mistress recently participated in the wooden boat show I hope to get up to see one of these years.

Ann Marie Rose is clearly not wood, but I include it here because it’s the fourth time  (4th!!) I’ve seen it since April, when I caught them entering the Harrows.

Elegante was in these same waters two years ago . . .

as seen here (scroll).
