July 31, 1923 marked the beginning of a Straits ferry system, when the converted river boat "Ariel," landed 20 autos at the St. Ignace center. Annual traffic increased to about one million cars, requiring 470 employees, new docks and a fleet of larger boats - the "Vacationland," ice-breaker of 150 car capacity being specially built.
