THE STEEL STEAMER, "W.H. GILBERT."
This picture will give those of our readers not closely connected with the lake marine, a fair idea of the steam tonnage now being put afloat by lake shipbuilders. The "Gilbert" is valued at $225,000. This picture is one of a large number that appeared in the Marine Record, Cleveland, O., during the season of 1892.
