A working Great Lakes passage
A historic photograph shows a Great Lakes freighter passing through DeTour Passage, with a smaller vessel and waterfront structures nearby. This video examines a working shipping channel beside DeTour Village.
The route to the Soo Locks
The passage separates Michigan’s Upper Peninsula from Drummond Island and connects Lake Huron with the St. Marys River route to the Soo Locks. The photograph places large commercial vessels beside the docks and shore facilities that supported their voyages.
