Tashmoo Park and the Steamer Tashmoo (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Tashmoo Park, located 20 miles north of Detroit on Harsenâ€™s Island, opened in 1897. Owned by the White Star Line excursion boat company, the park was a pleasant two-hour ride from the city. To reach the park, visitors traveled aboard one of the White Star Lineâ€™s excursion boats, the most famous of which wasâ€•without questionâ€•the steamer Tashmoo. Completed in 1900, the Tashmoo was the grandest excursion steamer of her day. The park was a 60-acre resort that included picnic grounds, a large dance pavilion, two baseball diamonds, a bicycle track, amusement rides, and at the waterâ€™s edge, a bathhouse and swimming beach. For nearly 50 years, Tashmoo was Detroitâ€™s most popular park destination, and a trip aboard the Tashmoo was a highlight of the summer season. Sadly, after the steamer sank in 1936, the park went into decline and finally closed in 1951. Today, Tashmoo, the park and the steamer, are only a happy memory of a far simpler time.
