Marie, and the Superior ports are, with few ex...ceptions, large modern steamers of the highest classification. They have replaced, one by one, the old wooden vessels which thirty or forty years ago developed the business to the north, and which were then the pride of the lake marine. The splendid steamer Manttoti, of the Manitou Steam- ship Company, fairly represents the new marine. Although built and put in service between Chicago and Mackinac Island and Northern Michigan resorts, during the Co- lumbian Exposition, in 1893, she has continued on this route each season since, making semi-weekly trips.
