| Title | S.S. Missouri, August 11, 1934 |
| Description | Built in 1904 for the Northern Michigan Transportation Company of Chicago, the Missouri was sister ship to the S.S. Illinois. In the days before highway transportation for freight and mail, these vessels were providers for many of the communities on their route: Chicago, Ludington, Manistee, Frankfort, Traverse City, Charlevois, and Mackinaw Island. In 1920, the Missouri's company was reorganized as the Michigan Transportation Company, and in 1935, she was acquired by the Wisconsin & Michigan Steamship Company, which used her little. She was scrapped in 1948. |
