The Cruise of the Abbie
to
Marquette Regional History Center 145 W. Spring Street, Marquette, Michigan 49855
In 1889 John M. Longyear set out on his boat to tour Lake Superior, do a little fishing and explore Isle Royale. He recorded it all and presented his daughter Abby with a bound book of this incredible trip. Listen to his firsthand account of this adventure and see original photos taken on the trip. Our re-en-actor's B.G. Bradley playing John M. Longyear, and Rosemary Michelin playing Abby, will share the often funny, memories of Longyear’s journal and the boat which he named after her. $5 suggested donation.
