The original Shaker Lakes Canoe Club boathouse, pictured in this postcard, was built in 1907 on the southeast shore of Lower Shaker Lake. The highlight of the club's year was its annual regatta, a tradition that began in 1908. Thousands of people would attend these summertime festivals which featured canoe races, canoe tilting (similar to medieval jousting, but with canoes in place of horses), and moonlit water parades of Japanese lantern-lit canoes. | Source: Cleveland Heights Historical SocietyDownload Original File
