My immediate reaction on reading that Wiki entry was 'How the hell did they build and launch a ship that big in WISCONSIN? It's in the middle of the USA!' But I forgot that it's on the Great Lakes...............  :banghead:  :banghead:
That ain't big. ;D

Visited Port Colborne, ON, today. Saw a bunch of wheel houses from previously broken lake freighters, and this cool boast. The MV Still Watch. Word has it, they are sailing for the Bahamas and restoring her there. Quite the history, the old girl !
