Detroit Lake Mugs
Description: The Great Lakes Engineering Works (GLEW) was a leading shipbuilding company with a shipyard in Ecorse, Michigan, that operated between 1902 and 1960. Within three years of its formation, it was building fifty percent of the tonnage of all ships in the Great Lakes. During World War II, GLEW was commissioned by Pittsburgh Steamship Company and the U.S. Maritime Commission to build twenty-one ore freighters. Its innovations included the first self-unloader freighter, SS Wyandotte. GLEW is best known for its construction of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
Description: Illustrated map in retro orange khaki colors from Michigan. Michigan is a state located in the Great Lakes region of the United States.

Michigan is known for its automotive industry, as well as for its natural beauty, including the Great Lakes and numerous state parks.

Description: “Say Yes to Michigan” was a tourism campaign launched in January 1982 which saw an onslaught of TV, radio, and print advertisements, as well as T-shirts, buttons, and other promotional items. The slogan appeared on the official state map that same year, and a variation of the phrase came into play that was simply “Yes! Michigan.” A television commercial was created in 1986 to celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday, that included a cheesy jingle called “Yes! Michigan — The Feeling is Forever.” The slogan reached almost cliché status throughout the '80s as it was used to sell everything from apples to automobiles, but the '90s saw the campaign wind down and fade away, eventually being replaced with “Great Lakes. Great Times.”
