Historical Photos

 

                We carry a large selection of historical photos from the museum’s various photographic collections.  We carry photos of all of the ships of the Bradley Fleet, the Great Lakes Fleet, and most other fleets that have employed sailors from our area.  If you don’t find a photo of the ship you’re looking for in our collection, we can get one for you!  These make great gifts for the sailors and former sailors in your family.

                Many photos from The Calcite Collection are available for purchase.  Included is a series of photos that includes images of all the “company houses” on Lake Street, First Street, Second Street, Tank Addition, Woodward, and Ira. 

                We are in the process of adding many photos by Ferris Parsons to our gift shop inventory.  Included are numerous photos of confirmation classes, first communion groups, school classes and activities, service clubs, church events and activities throughout Presque Isle County.  Look through the photos, you may find a picture of yourself!
