Re: K&K Pilothouses
Was on the dock down by the Sno last week. Maybe they cut it up since then.
Re: K&K Pilothouses
Was able to drive by today; Lillian pilothouse is gone (was just the shell-no windows/woodwork etc) the pilothouse off the Donner is starting to look pretty pretty ragged (starboard door is a jar, looks like hinges are busted) Reserve pilothouse looks to be in good shape; did not see the pilot house off the Viking anywhere. Could not stop for pix-no place to park a big rig.

Re: K&K Pilothouses
That was cut up a few years ago. Before it was the Lillian it was the second 'Marquette & Bessemer No. 2'Chief wrote:There is also another pilot house by the gate and that came from the barge Lillian when she was scrapped there in 1995.

Re: K&K Pilothouses
I just uploaded the photos I took to the "Viking" thread. The Donner is the one that's used as a barge on the South side of the river, East of the Ogden St. Bridge, correct?

Re: K&K Pilothouses
Jake-looking forward to your photos of the Viking being cut down to a barge. I'm prouder than ever to know I possess one of her late 70's-era life rings, a reminder of a more noble past.

K&K Pilothouses
While in Menominee taking pictures of the Viking barge conversion, I noticed several pilothouses scattered around the Eastern end of the K&K complex. Does anyone have any ideas where they may have come from?
Thanks
