When Ste. Claire and SS Columbia sounded their whistles, every Detroit kid knew it heralded the coming of summer and the magic of ferrying over to nearby Boblo Island Amusement Park. After 85 years of operation, these two sister steamships - the oldest in America - awaken to find their fates resting in the hands of an unlikely band of heroes: a doctor, a psychic, and an amusement park fanatic.
