ssanne

SS Anne was a passenger steamship that operated on the Great Lakes of North America from 1848 to 1854. Built by the Detroit Shipbuilding Company in Detroit, Michigan, the SS Anne was designed to carry passengers and cargo between the United States and Canada. The ship was 150 feet long and had a gross register tonnage of 350 tons. It was powered by a steam engine that could propel the vessel at a speed of up to 10 knots.

The SS Anne made its maiden voyage in 1848 and quickly became a popular choice for travelers due to its comfortable accommodations and reliable service. The ship was equipped with modern amenities for the time, including a dining room, a parlor, and a library. Passengers could also enjoy the ship's deck for leisure activities.

Throughout its operational life, the SS Anne served on various routes on the Great Lakes, including between Detroit and Toronto, and between Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie. The ship was known for its punctuality and safety, with a record of only one incident resulting in a minor injury.

In 1854, the SS Anne was retired from service and sold for scrap. Its legacy lives on in the history of Great Lakes shipping and the memories of those who traveled on its decks.
