Lake Michigan, Ludington, Michigan, 2009. 4 hours after leaving Manitowoc, Wisconsin

The SPARTAN is nearby. (floating storage?) And north of here, at Manistee, is supposed to be another one in storage (I don't know the name of that ferry) |

The BADGER coasted in a mile,
and now the horsepower is back on for the docking.

The ramp still exists to reach what used to be an upper automobile deck. It is still used for re- supply. A passenger commented that the ramp is steep and has many turns, and was built for driving cars forward both ways. But they have to BACK this truck up there. |

I have dozens of pictures I haven't shown of nautical hardware on the ferry. Lifeboats, winches, lights, etc. It's all of 1951 vintage with lots of paint covering it. I won't make a web page of that yet. |
