The S.S. Baychimo was a pre WWI, Scandanavian-built german freighter that passed to britain after the armistice. Given to the Hudson bay company, it served the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic as a freighter, mainly for furs and groceries, until it became ice bound in the early 30s, and abandoned as unsalvagable.
from 1910 into the 30s the Huppmobile, cars from Hupp motors , were the product and pride of the most innovative carmakers in Detroit. The company created the first all steel body cars, while the likes of Ford were sticking to wood and cast iron. They made sturdy, tough, reliable 4 cylinder machines that even Mr. Ford was impressed with, admitting they were a better deal for the money than his. The car heaters they designed for the Skylark are now standard, as is the pressed welded steel body.
