Water was as natural an clement to our ancestors as air. A day in the Headlands meant breakfast before sunrise and a hike to the life saving station in Grand River for a demonstration of seamanship. Lunch time was spent building sandcastles and collecting periwinkles. Following lunch a family would ferry to Fairport for a 5(1 coke and Hershcy bar. On the return voyage people were anxious to return before dark, less they be caught in the boisterous sailor city of Grand River. Just after sunset fires were built along the shore while people laughed and sang together. This became such a popular past time that two or three life saving station men had to patrol the area which is now Headlands Beach State Park. These young lads, not wanting to seem unfriendly, talked for hours with town’s people concerning shipwrecks, rescues, and just plain gossip. As payment for the information, each sailor ate his full of fried corn and toasted marshmcllows. Following World War 1, Mentor became a fastly growing resort community. Strings upon strings of summer houses lined the lake. Erie has since claimed many of them for herself however. The depression of 1929 proved to be the downfall of Mentor’s resort community. Eric is and was the lake of short hauls, quick trips, stops and starts, hello goodbyes,and superstition. Our ships have succumbed to the ever rising, ever falling waters of Lake Erie, but their ghosts sail on forever in the minds of all men and women. When passing the lake next, look around, feel it surge, feel it lure, sec the strange forms take shape, the masts and spars! a voice of the tomb, tellin’ us to come to supper down aft the engine room
