Whaleback ship Christopher Columbus speeds on Great Lakes
The trial trip from Milwaukee to Chicago shows the whaleback Christopher Columbus capable of 28 miles per hour. Described as the greyhound of the lakes, it surpasses all lake steamers and rivals Atlantic and ocean liners in speed. If sustained, 7,000 miles could be covered in 50 hours, threatening rivals like Campania and Cramp’s new Atlantic steamships.
