THE EXCELSIOR FERRY ON LAKE MINNETONKA || MINNESOTA LANDMARK ART PRINT

The Excelsior Ferry on Lake Minnetonka || Minnesota Landmark Art Print

Giclée Fine Art open edition print of an Original illustration by Mark Herman 

In the early 1900’s, the steamboat Minnehaha was an integral part of the Twin Cities’ commuter transit system. It was one of several boats built to act as feeders for the newly developed street car system at Lake Minnetonka. These Express Boats were painted in the same livery as the street cars they served, and became known as “streetcar boats.” In 1926 the steamboat service was discontinued. Several boats were scuttled, including the Minnehaha. The boat was discovered again in 60 feet of water, by a diver in 1979. It was eventually recovered and by 1996, following a long period of disputed ownership, it had been restored and given a second life as a floating museum.

About our prints: We only use Epson Brand Printers, Epson inks and Epson Enhanced Matte Paper to ensure our high quality standards and attention to detail is consistent with every print you purchase from us. Every print is made by our family owned small business and personally inspected.
Please note that some color tones and intensities may vary slightly from online to in person, but the heavy stock premium matte paper nicely enhances the rich colors in Mark’s artwork.

All of our prints include a white printed border, designed to look great when placed directly into a frame without the need for an additional mat.
