If I remember correctly? Was there a boat in the 50s that traveled from the foot of Woodward in Detroit to an island in Canada called Boblo? Would where that came from?🤔
Yes, there were two cruise boats that sailed the Detroit River to a Boblo Island in Canada where there was an amusement park. But that was a different island, both named Bois Blanc (white wood in French) and both informally known as Bob Lo. One of the boats burned to the waterline, and the other was moved to New York where it's being restored for trips up the Hudson river.

My mother was raised on that island
