Put-in-Bay's unique Shiphouse a summer home that breaks all the rules
PUT-IN-BAY, Ohio — People don’t think of boats when they hear the name Ford or think of islands when they hear of Ohio or think of a steel freighter when they think of a summer home, but the Benson Ford Shiphouse in Put-in-Bay, Ohio, breaks all the rules. “It is the one thing that people stand there and watch, you know, like, I mean, everybody wants to walk through this ship,” Paul Jeris said when talking about the home at 1191 Ashburn Ave. owned by his friend Bryan Kasper. Most commonly the Shiphouse can be seen by people taking the Jet Express around the west side of South Bass Island, where the home appears as the front of a cargo ship perched on a rocky ledge. “It's the front 60 feet of a 600-foot freighter that the Ford family used to own and use for their transportation of raw materials around the Great Lakes,” Mr. Kasper said introducing the 100-year-old ship. Built in 1924, the ship was one of the first diesel engine freighters, hauling iron ore until it was retired in 1981 and given the new name John Dykstra II.
