Edward H. Anderson, a potato grower from Washington Island, Wisconsin, purchased the City of Cheboygan on the far left and converted it into a potato processing barge renamed for himself. He later also purchased the City of Munising, after a deal to use her on Lake Michigan fell through. While never officially renamed, the Munising was usually just called "No. 2." The boats were towed across Lake Michigan once a year to take his potato harvest to market. (Dave Christiansen collection)
