| Notes |
- From Algonac, MI.
Captain on a lake boat.
I show the following boat assignments for a Charles E. Barnes: Captain, Seattle, 1902; Captain, Kongo, 1905; Captain, Kongo, 1906; Captain, John B. Ketchum II, 1907; and Captain, John B. Ketchum II, 1908. The three boats listed above were operated by H. N. Loud, Au Sable, MI. Lynn's Directory for 1908 shows C. E. Barnes residing in Algonac, MI. If you go to a site hosted by Bowling Green University, http://ul.bgsu.edu/cgi-bin/xvsl2.cgi , and use each boat as a search term, you will get a picture and some basic information on each boat.
Also, I don't know if this is the same individual but I show the following boat assignments for a C. E. Barnes: Captain, W. G. Perry, 1926; Captain, W. G. Perry, 1928; and Captain, W. G. Perry. 1929. The W. G. Perry was operated by Pittsburgh Coal Company of Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio.
