Columbia Star. not the American Century version. miss the old colors and the C on the stack

I forgot to include the Maumee, Alpena and the 3 Maritimers from Grand River/Lower Lakes on my list.

Hands down for me it is the tanker formerly named Saturn.

Most unique looking ship I ever saw. I recall watching it ply up and down the Black Rock Canal over the years while commuting to Buffalo State College via I-190 long ago.

I hope it provides may more years of good service as a saltie along the Panama Canal.

Cason J Callaway and the J.W. Shelley

E B Barber as a staight decker

By far the SS Courtney Burton!

My favorites are St. Marys Challenger and Badger.

Hands down the Beeghles (Charles M. Beeghly)Gotta show some love to the Charles M. Beeghly. She saluted my mom and I when we were in Marine City.

Ouch, im thinking it was 1972 maybe 70.

what year was that?

Imperial London for towing us into Parry Sound in middle of night in storm with there engineer aboard.

Beeghly by a nose over the Munson.

As an old time boat nerd. most the boats that I remember are now scrapped, have to have new favs. the Gott, any of the 'original style' like the Anderson and the Phil. the Blough, the Block.

Rock On!

This is really a tough one. I'd have to say the St. Mary's Challenger. Love the oldies! Ryerson, Cason Callaway, Arthur Anderson, Kaye Barker, somebody stop me! Inactive would be the Meteor. We are having a blast getting her back in shape!
