Description
Looks like a collision as the Badger glides behind the lighthouse. After 60 years of ferrying vehicles and people across Lake Michigan and back, it appears that the Badger knows what it is doing. The S.S. Badger is the last coal-fired passenger steamship in operation in the United States.
In 2016 she received the nation’s highest historic honor when the Department of Interior officially designated the Badger as a National Historic Landmark.
Additionally, the Badger is extremely unique in that she is an NHL that moves. The 410 ft. S.S. BADGER can accommodate 600 passengers and 180 vehicles, including: RVs, motorcycles, motor coaches, and commercial trucks during her sailing season. Originally designed primarily to transport railroad cars, this grand ship and the people who serve her have successfully adapted to the changing world since she first entered service in 1953.
