Clean up edit

I am not the initial editor of this article but thought I could fix the citations because I know the material. I had several fixed but ran into an "edit conflict" and what I had done was lost. I added some headings to break up the "history part" of this article and added images, and I changed the title of the article to the actual name of the company. I hope this is okay. When I initially found this article, it was one long paragraph without any "lead sentence" and with a list of references at the end. If I didn't say enough in that lead sentence, please refrain from scolding me as I am only doing a little at a time and this is a "work in progress". I am an old person and not a young whippersnapper like you, with your texting and your tweeting and your ease and manipulating all this coded gobbledygook. :) I am pleased that I finally figured out how to open this place to talk in, as that was a huge puzzle.

I did some minor clean up of the references per H:FOOT#Footnotes: using a source more than once since two of the sources (Classic Boating and Marinette County Historian) were being cited multiple times in the article. No article content was added; This was just a slight tweaking of the syntax and using "Ref name" in cases like this is quite standard for Wikipedia articles. - Marchjuly (talk) 12:53, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
