Marc and Jill VanderMeulen will eventually have a “one of a kind” cottage. While some people work on ship models, Marc and Jill are working on the 120-ton steel forward end of the former Great Lakes steamboat, Lewis G. Harriman. Today the forward end peeks out from the cedar-lined DeTour shoreline, and looks like it is anchored in a secluded cove. Actually it is installed on the lot next to the VanderMeulen’s summer home. It is the perfect place for an illustrious ship to retire, as it looks out at the downbound shipping lane.
