Description
Eastland docked at immediately west of the Wells Street Bridge, on the south bank of the Chicago River, between 1903 and 1904. Note the two-toned hull, the three pairs of lifeboats, and the shield logo next to the Eastland. After the 1904 season, the Michigan Steamship Company added a fourth pair of lifeboats and painted her hull white, which included painting over the shield logo and replacing it with "Chicago & South Haven Line" above her name. The Michigan Steamship Company owned the Eastland from 1903 to December 1905 and ran a 77-mile route on Lake Michigan between Chicago, Illinois, and South Haven, Michigan. Postcard sent in 1908 and includes recipient and handwritten message. Postcard published by Rotograph Company, New York City, New York, and printed in Germany.
