    Where Am I

    Some more info for ya.. New Buffalo Lighthouse Established: 1839-1859 Location: New Buffalo, Michigan. Information: Captain Wessel Whittaker ran his schooner "Postboy" ashore near Michigan City. In the process of recovering his boat, Whittaker took note of the Galien River and believed it to be a good site for a port. Returning to New York, Whittaker encouraged some friends to purchase and survey the area now known as New Buffalo. Located ten miles southwest of Michigan City. At the time of construction only four other lighthouses existed on Lake Michigan at that time: St. Joseph, Michigan 1831 Chicago, Illinois 1832 Pottawattamie Island, Wisconsin 1836-37 Michigan City, Indiana 1837 1843, various people questioned utility of New Buffalo Lighthouse. In August 1859, a "Notice to Mariners" was made for the discontinuance of several lights including New Buffalo. News article states "the lighthouse at New Buffalo crumbled and fell into the water and the piers crumbled due to deterioration with age and were crushed by the pressure of ice jams bordering the lake in the winter." Keepers: Thomas S. Smith - appointed 1840 Elijah B. Pressey - appointed 1841 Reuben Smith - appointed 1845 Joseph W. Miller - appointed 1849 Reuben W. Smith - appointed 1853

  15. Welcome to the site slipknot. We look foreward to seeing you in the forums.
  16. Is this motor still for sale? What model is it?
  17. fisher501.. I have looked into this question using the canadian coast guard and fisherys and oceans canada. The Niagara river is divided into U.S. and Canadian territory. If you are fishin this with a state fishing license you must stay on the U.S. side. To fish the entire Niagara river you will need an Ontario fishing license. Also you cannot land or dock your boat on the Canadian side without reporting to Canada Customs. You must also follow Canadian coast guard regulations for your boat. I posted some info here earlier http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=299 . If you need some more info,let me know and I will find out what I can for you.
  18. Welcome to Great Lakes Fisherman. I am sure you will enjot it.
  19. Which ever way you go, dont forget todrill a hole[Yes drill a hole] on each end of the crack. This will relieve the stress and prevent the crack from spreading further..
  20. Welcome to the site spanky. You will enjoy it!
  21. Well I am not an aluminum boat expert but I have some metal fabrication experience. The most important thing is to make sure that the crack can not spread. The easiest way to prevent this is to drill a hole[Yes drill a hole] on each end of the crack. This will prevent spreading. Now you can make a patch and rivet it on top of the crack using some silicone to seal the leak. or take the boat to someone who has a tig welder and then you will never worry about it again.
