A miniature steel-and-wood version of the historic 1869 steam barge City of Port Huron will soon sail onto the Blue Water River Walk as the next public art piece. Local artist Scott Campbell created the 16-foot-long model to honor the city’s shipbuilding past and the barges that carried lumber across the Great Lakes. Campbell says the project celebrates the city’s early industry. His design was chosen from five finalists, whose 3D models are on display at the Community Foundation downtown through October 3rd
