In the late 1890s, four boys from Michigan built a 30 foot boat and sailed it 7,000 miles from their home port of St. Joseph, Michigan down the Mississippi River, around Florida, up the East Coast, through the Erie Canal, the across the Great Lakes to arrive safely home again. It was a remarkable feat for any era and worth remembering.
