Description

This was photographed from Cleveland's Whiskey Island. Whiskey Island is a triangular piece of land 1 mi. long and one-third mi. at its widest. On the near west side of Cleveland, the peninsula is bounded by Lake Erie to the north, (approx.) W. 54th St. on the west, and the Cuyahoga River to the south and east. The first piece of solid land amid the swamps lining the river, it was located nearly one-quarter mi. down the Cuyahoga when Moses Cleaveland visited the area in 1796. Lorenzo Carter built his family farm on Whiskey Island (so named when a distillery was built on the land in the 1830s).

Hey! You are where I was just a month ago! That's where I got my shots of the 3 lighthouses. :-) I love the way the sailboats sail around this jetty and it makes for such a peaceful scene. I was at Whiskey Island and the two marinas - one to the right and one to the left - and took several shots. I was out on the pier near Whiskey Island and got a great shot of the Cleveland skyline with the frighters loading nearby too. Of course, I love this shot you did. It really brings back some great memories.
