Detroit Section/ Floating Post Office

Floating Post Office?

A fun fact about Detroit to help Detroiters learn and love their city. Detroit is the only city in the United States to have a post office on a boat, but also been assigned its own area code 48222.

The boat has been delivering mail for over 100 years! This starter in 1874 by J.W. Westcott, the boat is called the J.W. Westcott II. The boat deliverers mail along the Ambassador bridge.

J.W. Westcott II is also the only floating post office in the world that delivers to other ships that are already underway!

Love Detroit, she needs you!
