About This Design

Engine Room on the S.S. Greater Detroit - D&C Line Mug

Engine Room on the S.S. Greater Detroit - D&C Line Mug

Designed by marine architect Frank E. Kirby who would go on later to design the other largest side wheel excursion ship built for the Great Lakes, the Greater Buffalo. The Greater Detroit was built in 1923, and, being 7,739 tones and 518 feet long, was known as the largest side-wheeler passenger ship in the world. Frank E. Kirby was the noteworthy naval architect who designed many of the D&C ships. As ferry and cruise ships, all of the ships of D&C were a success, with various civic groups and companies often chartering each ship on account of their reputations for excellent services and good cuisine. Upon reaching Buffalo, happy honeymoon couples would connect to Niagara Falls. In the late 1930s, the increasing use of the automobile caused passenger numbers to slowly fall. The main route was between Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. Routes also lead to Buffalo, New York with the purchase of the Detroit and Buffalo Steamship Company in 1909. Charters and day-trips were also offered. Most scheduled sailings were overnight sailings, landing in the morning after departure. Each ship was painted with a black hull and white superstructure and white lettering. By 1949, the ships wore all-white paint with blue lettering. The line operated from 1868 to 1951.

Order was easy and communication great. Order arrived pretty quickly. Unfortunately 2 mugs broke in transit. Helena and the friendly team sent 2 new mugs which arrived safely. Communication was prompt, friendly and extremely helpful. Printing was perfect.
