About Me
- Name: Ookpik
- Location: Michigan, United States
I began my interest in vernacular photography by a chance acquisition of over 10,000 negatives dating from the late 1920's through the early 1970's. Luckily, I knew what I had was something more than "someone's old pictures." This cache of old images became the impetus for me to create two Photoblogs: Ookpik’s Negativity and Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes. Ookpik’s Negativity contains photos that I would like to know more about while Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes features photos of ships that I am trying to identify.

Stack looks like Misner markings.
To me, that looks like a saltie rather than a Meisner laker. The two bands on the funnel even look a tad narrower than those on the Meisner stacks of their older vessels. I look forward to an identification as this one is unknown to me.
I'm pretty sure it is a Saltie. I have been posting some of the tougher Mystery Ships on various "boat nerd" type sites that have a worldwide audience. Unfortunately, no one recognized this ship.
