Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western Railroad Ferry slip No.1, to your right, is the point where car-ferry service across Lake Michigan began. On Sunday, November 27, 1892, Ann Arbor Railroad car-ferry No.1 loaded 22 cars of flour which originated at Minneapolis and were destined for England, Scotland and Ireland-the first boatload of box cars to be transported across Lake Michigan-a service later extended to other ports.
