Ross,
Regarding female cooks on Great Lakes vessels see:
Patrick Folkes, "Cooks and Ladies' Maids: Women in Sail and Steam on the Great Lakes in the Nineteenth Century" in Victoria Brehm (ed.), A Fully Accredited Ocean: Essays on the Great Lakes, (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1998), pp. 58-72. ISBN 0-472-10709-7
I recommend the entire book.
Cheers,
Jonathan Moore
