Earl was a pharmacist in Grand Rapids. He was a talented piano player who used to entertain guests on the ferry between Muskegon and Milwaukee.
Built in 1905, the SS Milwaukee Clipper is the oldest American passenger steamship on the Great Lakes, the Milwaukee Clipper was built as the Juniata to carry passengers and freight. Her quadruple-expansion steam engine is one of the few surviving examples of this important engine type. In 1940 she was rebuilt as the Clipper. The entire ship reflected the new aesthetic streamlining of the Art Moderne style. Many design elements introduced in the Clipper are still being included in modern ocean-going passenger ships. The rebuilt ship served the route between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Muskegon, Michigan from 1941 to 1970. source: Historic Naval Ships Association
