I took a recent trip through Escanaba and looked for an old friend. For years the old Chicago fireboat the Joseph Medill sat on land near downtown. I liked it so much it is on the cover of volume 2 of my book series. Sadly it was cut up for scrap a few years ago. Now a different boat sits on land. The Siscowet, sits near the location where the old fireboat sat. I am not sure what it’s fate is, but it looks lonely sitting up on dry land.
P.S. If you are wondering a siscowet is the name of a lake trout.
