Badger-Seqwun

[Richard Jenkins]

The Sabino at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut is coal-fired too. I think what sets the Badger apart from Segwun and Sabino (apart from size) is that she is still in regular commercial service, as opposed to being restored and operated as a museum vessel.

Segwun is coal fired

The Segwun is coal fired as far as I know. I was on her in 1988.

I was on Segwun once 30 years ago and seemed to recall she burned wood. Can anyone confirm she is a coal burner?

The Badger's listed as the last commercially operating coal burning ship in the United States.

Segwun's website is listed in North America, and is also of Canadian registry.

Minor details.

Looking at the News Gallery today and it mentions the Seqwun as being coal fired. Didn't some of the Badger's advertising say she was the last coal fired ship in North America? It would seem that since the Seqwun is coal fired she will have ash to dispose of. Do they scuttle the ash overboard or is it retained onboard for disposal on shore?
