Yes, I wish I had found it early in my research, on the other forum I frequent, correspondents dated it to 1953.
Even though my modelled era is the mid 50s I still use Google maps and street view, if only to give me a general lie of the land and had realised there had been a massive redevelopment of the waterfront area. I did get a pretty good look at the remaining apron counterweight mechanism at Windsor from street view.
There are more links I discovered on the Detroit River Ferries here...
