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.

I have a beautiful carved wooden model of this ship. It was completed by my father in law Donald Parrish, who was a foreman at the yard time of closing in 1986. He worked there for over 35 years and was very proud of his service there. He made me a gift of this model shortly before he passed in 2007.
Hi Perry,
Thank you for that information. Do you happen to know the name of the ship?
could be Capt.D C Secord
