The Marine Historical Society of Detroit, Michigan, proudly brings you this site on the passenger ships of the Great Lakes. Why did I choose this site? Well, living on one of the Great Lakes instills a certain pride in the industry that once thrived here, and still partially does. Plus, this site has fabulous pictures of ships.

Choose from a list of different ships and then be whisked to the next page that is complete with a picture of the ship, information on its make, and the ship's history.

My favorite here I think is the Tashmoo. It's sleek design appeals to me. So take this trip into history and enjoy these lovely ships.

If you watch TV you’ve seen all of the commercials for the movie Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Well, this site has a Ya-Ya name generator. So are you curious what my name came out to be?

I don’t think I should tell you... it is a secret after all.

Okay, you’ve twisted my arm. Mine came out as "Queen Crescent Moon." Not too bad, huh!?!

So what’s your Secret Ya-Ya Name?

P.S. This isn't just for the Sisterhood either. Men can do it too! Just change the title from its feminine form to its masculine one. Steve’s was "Marchioness Social Butterfly." So simply change the Marchioness to Marquise and you have the male form.

So what's your Ya-Ya secret name?
