Leelanau Leland Helen S Fish Tug by Don Harrison

Don Harrison of Up North Memories (eBay store) has piles and piles of cool old postcards from Leelanau, Benzie and Northern Michigan.

I don't know when this photo of the fish tug Helen S in Fishtown was taken, but I do know that it was before the current version of the breakwall. As a bonus, lots of Don's photos (including this one) are wallpaper sized!

  1. Northern Michigan is my favorite place to visit (Manitou Islands) in the world. I have been many places and never felt at such peace as I did when we took our boat and anchored out for 3 days and toured the island.
