The rare and imposing spectacle afforded when the nine vessels of the I'ere Marquctte carferry fleet were in port Oct. 29, for the first time in history, was pictorially recorded by J. H. Ferris, amateur marine photographer.

The picture was taken as one of the ships was about to leave port. Carferry City of Saginaw is seen in the center foreground, headed for the channel mouth, on a trip across the lake. At the north slip is seen Carferry Pere Marquette 22.

Next, reading from left to right, is Steamer Nevada of the Pere Marquette line, at her dock beside the warehouse. Beside the Nevada is Carferry Pere Marquette 21, twin of Carferry 22. The south slip is seen to be empty, but the black hulls and funnels of four vessels, the 15, 20, 19 and 17, are detected beyond it.

To those who saw the spectacle, the meeting of the fleet at Ludington was expressive of the city's growing maritime importance and the leadership of Pere Marquette Railway Co. in marine transportation. The picture is doubly unique. In addition to recording and depicting the fleet's first meeting in Ludington it presents the first and last word in car- ferry construction. Carferry Pere Marquette 15, more than 30 years old, was the first steel carferry on Lake Michigan.

All other ships of the fleet were patterned after her. Her sisterships, City of Saginaw and City of Flint, are the latest carferries commissioned and are the fastest and most powerful vessels of their kind on the Great Lakes. OTHER VESSELS IN HARBOR. In addition to the 10 vessels to be seen in the picture, there were several others in port the day it was taken. One of these was a freighter which had entered harbor, bound for the Morton Salt Co.

The photograph from which the above cut was made is owned by John W. Stram of 301 south Washington avenue, whose collection of marine photographs is notable.
