Unfortunately I have not found any pictures online of the near capsizing.
From the Ludington Daily News article I posted earlier.

Information from the Detroit Marine Historian; a pipe broke in the engine room of the Badger on January 29, 1987. It says that the Ludington fire department pumped nearly 200,000 gallons of water from the Badger. https://images.maritimehistoryofthegrea ... /page/6?n=

The Ludington Fire Department pumped about 200000 gallons of water out of its engine room. I'm not sure how close to "capsizing" it really was. From the Ludington Daily News, 30 January 1987:

Are there any photos or other information available about the Badger's near capsizing and the subsequent operation to right her?
