Conneaut Harbor.

The last one is not mine and the first one I'm not sure about but the rest either I took or Sue did.

The crushed stone and sometimes coal too went across the lake on the ships or barges. I think it was the barges. I remember watching trainloads of coal being dumped here to be moved somewhere else.

This was weird. I think I was on the boat with them this day and it was awful. He had a small thing, little bigger than a rowboat with an outboard motor. One of the little speed boats would go by deliberately and the wake would just about knock us over. He was irritated with the speedboat guy but he was more ticked at me because I asked him to put me ashore where it was safe. Tommy wanted to stay with his Dad and his father said he would be alright. I think Ray was with them too.

That's the gulls eating my burnt cookies. Not the green ones that day. We saved old bread for them, too.

This was the dock where people could tie up small boats. I think they put them in here too, but I'm not sure on that because Tom always put his in the water at Conneaut Creek and then went out to the lake by going under that bridge in the second photo.

 

That is supposed to be the harbor in winter. It's not mine and the site didn't say who owned it.
