Wholesale The Soo Locks - Michigan Travel Art Print

Originally called Baawitigong ("at the cascading rapids") by the Ojibwe People, Sault Ste. Marie received its unusual current name from French taders & missionaries in the 1600s. The giant locks here allow ships to sail between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes and were first opened in 1855. They remain a critical point of national commerce, and it's always worth a trip up I75 to visit this fascinating part of Michigan's gorgeous Upper Peninsula. This vintage style giclée art print, with original art by Brian Walline seeks to capture the unique spectacle of the Soo Locks from the Michigan side of Sault Ste. Marie. - - - Recognition: Sault Ste. Marie, aka "The Soo", occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg peoples.
