Great lakes paddler models

[Paulrjordan]

Hi gang:

Towboat Joe just emailed me to say he's home from his trip to the
Great Lakes. He told me about a museum he'd visited which had a bunch
of nice models and also had a photo of "USS Wolverine"..one of
Paddleducks' two favourite WW2 Aircraft Carriers!

From Joe's information I managed to find a Website for this Museum
which is the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society Museum on Lake Erie,
Ohio at Put-in-Bay (now THAT's gotta be a name to conjure up images of
historic ships!)

They have thoughtfully put in photos of some of their models and its
WORTH a VISIT as there are a few lovely paddlers in there.

Take a look at these Great Lakes Paddler models..they're beautiful!
