Presentation: Chicago's maritime history through rare, early photos, woodcuts and postcards

Join maritime historian Brendon Baillod as he explores Chicago's maritime history through rare, early photos, woodcuts and postcards from his extensive collection of stereoview cards and ephemera. Brendon will show the evolution of Great Lakes vessels, photography and maritime Chicago itself through historic maritime images. Note: image on the left is from one of many woodcuts in Brendon’s collection, though not of Chicago.
