The retired cement carrier Lewis G. Harriman was scheduled to be scrapped
on 2003. Her forward cabins were purchased by Marc and Jill Vander Meulen to be relocated to their summer cottage near DeTour Village.
This pictorial history shows the progress of her scrapping and the move of
her forward cabin section to DeTour. A complete history of the Lewis G.
Harriman can be found

9/10 - New steering pole installed As of Friday, September 4, the Lewis G. Harriman has a steering pole. Marc Dease saved the wooden pole from the J. Burton Ayers when she became the Cuyahoga, and after some restoration work, including a new spear tip made by Ed Kroodsma, all we needed were enough hands to swing the pole from its resting position, pointed back at the pilothouse, to its proper orientation. With John Mills pulling from the beach, Marc lifting from a stepladder on deck, Andrew Mills running the hand winch and Jill managing cables, the pole was set out. Photos by Judy Mills. |
