The George King Scrapbook: George King (1878-1956) was the celebrated champion of early sail racing on Lake Erie. His prestige helped to launch gentleman's yachting into the national character and catapulted the Toledo designed catboat to industry renown. This one-of-a-kind collection of photography from the first decade of the 20th century is a stunning array of everything afloat in the age, and the men and women whose smiles lit every harbor on the Great Lakes.
History Lines: History Lines is the official publication of the Western Lake Erie Historical Society. We are slowly digitizing the collection and making the research available to all. Read recent editions on the Publications page.
