Spanning the Decades

A Historical Look into Walstrom Marine

-- The 1990s --

Enjoy this section for the next few months as we explore Walstrom Marine's decade by decade history with Ward Walstrom, Jr.

The 1990s had many busy years in store for Walstrom Marine. A few of the highlights include:

The Cheboygan location was upgraded with the installation of bulkheads, additional slips, and construction of various buildings for offices, a parts room, and storage.
Brian Granger joined the sales staff in 1990 and is celebrating his 26th Anniversary with the company this year.
"Ladies Only Captain Class" began. They are still held today, now referred to as "Women in Boating."
Walstrom's Harbor Springs facilities expanded substantially with the addition of a new travelift, storage facilities, retail store, boaters' lounge, etc.
The resort town of Bay Harbor was founded. Fred and Ward met with developers and helped with planning and running the marina. Walstrom started a ship's store and a boat sales office; both are still there today.
