117 SHARESBy Carol Abbey-MensahYears before the Titanic, there was a Great Lakes ship that walked on water. But this steamboat made some history, that interested Great Lakes historian and marine artist Robert McGreevy. He frequently lectures about vessels on the Great Lakes and also showcases paintings he has done of some of them. His recent lecture was on the first Great Lakes steamboat. Little did he know that the first ever steamship on the Great Lakes would be wrecked on his watch, McGreevy said.
