Welcome to the "Crossroads of Time"
Join us in the celebration of Michigan's Mackinac Bridge with this incredible signed Mackinac Bridge Print, "Crossroads of Time" by Jamie Washburne of Germfask, Michigan.
The Tall Ship "Pride of the Baltimore II" was captured racing through the fog and approaching the Mackinac Bridge in this PRIZE WINNING PHOTO taken in the summer of 1999.
Many tall ships and schooners plied the waters of the Great Lakes during previous generations and helped bring civilization to Northern Michigan.

Sixty-six thousand, five hundred tons of steel created the great Mackinac Bridge, fulfilling the dream of this generation to bring the two Michigan Peninsulas together, which became a reality on November 1, 1957.
"The Washburne family happened to be enjoying the hospitality of Mackinaw City in June of 1999 when Jamie spotted the sailing vessel, "Pride of Baltimore II" passing through the Straits. Patiently, he waited as the vessel approached the bridge. He knew that only one photo remained in his camera. A light mist began to roll in as Jamie waited for just the right moment. If the fog came too quickly, he would miss the vision before him. Even as he snapped the photo, he knew that he had captured something special."
