The Straits of Mackinac Before The Bridge

The year is 1952 and the Mackinac Bridge is still in the talking stages.  GLCC members, who passed through the Straits of Mackinac on their way to the North Channel and beyond, had a very different view.  En route, they probably visited one or more of these locations. Step back in time when the gateway to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula was still by ferry. When the current marinas, future sites of GLCC Rendezvous, are yet to be built.
