"Port of Cleveland" is Iowa native Michael Blaser's first Great Lakes painting. After six years of depicting the inland waterways and steamboats of the Mi ssissippi, Monogahala, and Ohio rivers, painting the Great Lakes is tonic to Blaser:" . .. a secret desire of mine ever since I worked my way through college at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

The 1925 Mather , the only surviving example of a straight deck bulk and iron one carrier left on the Lakes, is now being meticulous ly restored by the Great Lakes Hi storical Society in Vermilion, Ohio, and print sales of "Port of Cleveland," will benefit this sterling effort.
