| Title | S.S. Alabama in the Chicago Harbor, 1934 |
| Description | Photograph. The most photographed Goodrich steamer of all time, the Alabama was commissioned in 1910, and served on the cross-lake passenger and cargo route for many years. The Goodrich Transit Company ceased operations in 1932, and thereafter the Alabama was chartered from her new bondholders by the Garland & Sullivan Steamship Company, among many others. By the early 1960s, the Alabama had become unprofitable, and ended her days as a stripped-down construction barge in the Saginaw Bay, Michigan area. |
