John Gregory provides a narrative on building schooners and tugs in the Great Lakes

John Gregory, born on March 17, 1822, in Ireland, was a prominent and well-respected architect building schooners and tugs, which operated in the Great Lakes Region beginning in 1865. He built 30 vessels to operate in the Chicago River Harbor and the Great Lakes. Each boat has its own unique history with stories that paint a fascinating picture of the period and the perils and rewards of the men who owned and operated them. This presentation will describe several of these narratives.
