The Jacksonport Historical Society is looking for a picture of t
he steam ship
vessel Addie Wade. Joseph A. LeMere from Jacksonport, Doo
r County, Wisconsin
purchased the ship in 1885 (some resources say it w
as built in 1902).
Mr. LeMere used the Addie Wade for transporting lumb
er to the ports of Mackinaw
City, Green Bay, and Chicago, and would brin
g provisions for his store on return
trips. Joseph LeMere continued lumb
er freighting with the Addie Wade until his
death in 1914. After his d
eath his children sold the Addie Wade. It was
purchased in 1915 by John
I. Kinsey and Walt B. Davidson of Milwaukee and it was
converted into a
welding steamer and renamed Kin-Dave in 1915. In 1932, she was
abando
ned in the rive at Sheboygan and lies buried there.
We would apprecia
te a picture of the Addie Wade for our records.
Thank you,
