Cars arriving for loading onboard SS Badger in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Badger holds about 180 automobiles and over 600 passengers; she seemed to be nearly full this trip. The physical layout of the loading area makes it difficult for passengers to take a good photo of Badger at either end of the voyage, so we'll go with this one. A very grey day, at this point.

There's some sort of large construction project going on at the harbor in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. These folks were doing some of the work the day we were there. Photo shot from the deck of SS Badger.

This was the view from SS Badger as we waited to leave. The old warehouse is kinda neat, and I like the fire escapes.

Oglebay Norton's Paul Thayer (now sailing as Manitowoc; once labelled Earl W. Oglebay and for a short period as just Earl W.), taking on aload near the end of Missabe Railway's half-mile long Duluth dock. Photo taken from a tour boat around 1990.

Cobia, on display at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc. The local shipbuilders constructed 28 subs during World War II; although this particular sub was built in Connecticut, it's of the same family as the Manitowoc ships. Moreover, Cobia was stationed in Milwaukee for about a decade (National Guard work), so there is a genuine Wisconsin connection. The only other time I was in Manitowoc was the day the sub was first opened for public display, back in (I think) 1986. That was just accidental. For the record: This is among the finest museums I've visited, on any subject, in any place. Easily justifies a visit to Manitowoc. Shot from SS Badger.
