SorryI cannot help you with any details. For what its worth (FWITW), the 'Port of Detroit' may be a red herring and may not be the actual port of arrival. I suggest that your William arrives in Canada and travelled by train to Windsor, Ontario and the crossed the St. Clair River to Detroit, Michigan. Hopefully someone on the list can point you to mor einformation on arrivals in Eastern Canada.

BUT the Port of Detroit was an important Canada/US border crossing. It was also important on the Great Lakes shipping industry, many came thru Canada to the US this way.
