10/4 - Whistles on the Water in St. Clair, Mich. Oct. 3 - Ron Piskor
Steam for this event was provided by a 1923 portable boiler made by the Port Huron Tractor and Thrasher Company.	This was the first event of this type that used actual steam to blow the many whistles that were there. The last event of this type was 20 years ago and used compressed air to power the whistles.	Many Great Lakes Ships whistles were blown along with smaller railroad and factory whistles..	.The 2 whistles that are normally displayed at the River Crab were present. One was from the Mercury and the other is from the Comet.The whistle off the Bob Lo boat Columbia was also there.	An example of some of the smaller whistles that were blown.
There was a manifold mounted along the St.Clair River boardwalk that had several whistles mounted to it The public was allowed to come down and choose a whistle you would like to blow and have your photo taken for free while doing so. Very Gracious Hosts!	Click here to listen to an audio clip of the Columbia's whistle from the event.
