There was a time when the Detroit waterfront was home to bustling fleets from several prominent maritime transportation companies, including the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company, the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company, the Georgian Bay Lines, and the Canada Steamship Lines. Their ships—large, elegant, and remarkably efficient—carried passengers across the Great Lakes in comfort and style. These lines also offered cruises that gave travelers a unique way to experience the beauty and vitality of the region from the water.
