Description
The Maumee River is a river running from northeastern Indiana into northwestern Ohio and Lake Erie in the United States. It is formed at the confluence of the St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers, where Fort Wayne, Indiana, has developed, and meanders northeastwardly for through an agricultural region of glacial moraines before flowing into the Maumee Bay of Lake Erie. Toledo, Ohio, developed at the Maumee River's mouth. The Maumee was designated an Ohio State Scenic River on July 18, 1974. The Maumee watershed is Ohio’s breadbasket; it is two-thirds farmland, mostly corn and soybeans. It is the largest watershed of any of the rivers feeding the Great Lakes, and supplies 5 percent of Lake Erie’s water.HistoryHistorically the river was also known as the "Miami" in United States treaties with Native Americans. As early as 1671, French colonists called the river Miami du Lac, or Miami of the Lake (in contrast to the "Miami of the Ohio" or the Great Miami River, called in Miami-Illinois Ahsenisiipi). Maumee is an anglicized spelling of the Ottawa or Odawa name for the Miami tribe, Maamii. The Odawa had a village at the mouth of the Maumee River and occupied other territory in northwestern Ohio.

SS Ste. Claire is a steamship that was formerly located in Detroit, Michigan. She was declared a US National Historic Landmark in 1992.The ship was designed by Frank E. Kirby, who also designed the SS Columbia."Ste. Claire was launched at Toledo Shipbuilding Company in 1910, and entered service later that year as part of the fleet operated by the Detroit & Windsor Ferry Company. For 81 years, this vessel carried passengers to Boblo Island, a record of service on a single run unequaled in U.S. maritime history." However, the latter part of the claim is false: it is undermined by the fact that the Columbia served on the same run for a slightly longer time, which the NRHP registration document makes clear. After the island park closed in 1993, she fell into disrepair. In 2003 she was towed to Toledo, Ohio, where she has been undergoing restoration.A partial restoration of both ships, Columbia and Ste. Clair, was made for the 2014 feature film Transformers: Age of Extinction.
