The GriffinOn September 18, 1679, a boat set sail from an island in northern Lake Michigan. Bearing a load of pelts, it was headed for eastern Lake Erie. The boat, named the Griffin, was the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes. During the voyage, it disappeared without a trace. French explorer Rene'-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle hammered in the first pin to construct the Griffin.
