Re: maritime query



Contact the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, OH. They are the
authority on Cleveland area history. I'm swamped at moment, but I know you
can easily scare up their address.   I know there is a Superior Avenue...it
is a major thoroughfare downtime.  Called a street at one time?? I don't
recall it ever being referred to a street. A lot of the marine support
companies are no longer downtown either....
