| Description | Sepia-toned photo of the reconstruction of the sailing ship WELCOME, under sail with its starboard bow to the camera. A shoreline lined with homes and trees is visible in the background. A typewritten caption on the verso reads, "The armed sloop WELCOME will be sailing the Straits region on Saturday, July 26, from mid-morning to late afternoon. The reconstruction of this vessel, originally built in 1775 by trader John Askin, was sponsored by the Mackinac Island State Park Commission. When not sailing, the WELCOME can be toured at its dock in Mackinaw City through Labor Day." |
