Bay View Lake Captains that Serviced the Rolling Mill!

Welcome to our Bay View: Town of Lake CAPTAINS! channel, where we present episodes about the 71 lake captains that once lived in Bay View, Wisconsin, between 1878 and 1968 in the age of sail and steam on the Great Lakes. Among items discussed are their ships (sail and steam), their homes (including old house restorations), and their families, and their lifetime of sailing adventures (sea stories) on the Great Lakes. This episode is about the Bay View lake captains that were contracted to transport goods to and from Bay View’s Rolling Mill. Some of you that have been following this channel may be wondering: did any of Bay View’s lake captains service or support the Rolling Mill with their ships? Today, we will be discussing just that. However, only two captains (and a third though he wasn’t living in Bay View at the time) were absolutely confirmed to have done so, bringing raw materials into the Mill as well as sailing out with its finished products to the market. Surely, there were others. Some reports reinforce things already known about these captains, such as their ships and/or their use of consorts or barges carrying cargo that were towed behind them. Other reporting provides information about the Illinois Steel Company, a later owner of the Mill, contracting a fleet of ships to support it. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to learn more about Bay View's lake captains, including 60 pages of sources for this and the other episodes, visit our website at www.historicbayviewlakecaptainssociety.com or purchase our 650-page book, "Bay View: Town of Lake CAPTAINS!" as well as our 550-page book, “A Brother Helps His Sister: the True Story of William A.
