WASHINGTON ISLAND'S DETROIT HARBOR

Washington Island, Door County. August, 1966. Altitude c. 1,500 feet. The harbor facilities at Washington Island's Detroit Harbor are seen in low oblique to the south.  Two former car ferries are moored at dockside (top). These car ferries are being used to store potatoes, grown on the island, to be shipped to Chicago.  Several cars await the arrival of another ferry along a dock at lower left.  White fuel storage tanks are at bottom center.  The island lies off the tip of Wisconsin's Door Peninsula.
