I think the St. Marys Challenger won that pretty easily unless I'm missing something.
I think top 5 are:
St. Mary's Challenger- 1906-2013 as a steamer, still going as a barge.
E.M. Ford- 1898-1996, then worked as a storage barge until 2008.
J.B. Ford, being scrapped now, 1904-1985 as a powered steamer, then storage barge until now.
A number of 1942-era ships that are currently still around have a tie- Cuyahoga, Lee A. Tregurtha, Alpena.
