The Last Coal Fired Steamship in the US (SS Badger) 🚢 60 miles across Lake Michigan

We ride the SS Badger from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin 60 miles across Lake Michigan.
➡️ Join us as we ride the last coal fired steamship in the United States. We tour the ship, watch the loading and unloading, tour our stateroom, play games and more.

The SS Badger is the last coal fired steam ship operating in the United States at 410 feet long and almost 60 feet wide, it can carry 600 passengers and 180 vehicles, everything from mopeds to tractor trailers.
➡️ The SS Badger is a rail car ferry built in 1952 and is a National Historic Landmark.
She was converted to a automobile ferry in 1992.
The ship which still has most of its historic equipment and fixtures. The safety and navigation equipment has been updated, but much of it is as it was back in the day.

We were very surprised how well preserved the ship was on the inside. Everything from the door locks and electrical equipment seemed as good as they were 60 years ago.
➡️ We also got the chance to participate in some nostalgic fun playing “Badger Bingo”.before finally arriving at Wisconsin.
