This lecture is presented by Daniel F. Harrison and is based upon his book, Michigan’s Venice: The Transformation of the St. Clair Maritime Landscape, 1645-2000.
Few maritime landscapes in the Great Lakes region remain so deeply and clearly inscribed by successive cultures as the St. Clair system: the lake, delta, and river.
Viewed over time, the region forms a microcosm of the interplay of environment, culture, and technology that characterized the gradual shift from nature to an industrial society and a built environment optimized for global waterborne transport.
