Sea Scouts sail the lakes on the Oliver H. Perry cruise
The Sea Scouts of the North Shore council completed a two week voyage aboard the S S S Oliver H Perry sailing on parts of Lakes Huron Superior and Michigan. Seventeen youths from the area joined eighty eight others under a Coast Guard towing escort with a professional crew aboard. They visited Detour and the Soo with shore leave and a dance hosted by the American Legion. The voyage included stops at Batchawana Bay and St Ignace before returning to Holland Michigan. A new Shipmates of the Oliver H Perry fraternal group formed to preserve memories and plan future cruises with annual Chicago meetings.
