The Challenger does not get in to St. Joe

It is an outstanding book. A great history of Great Lakes shipping and a boat that has seen it from start to where we are at today.

Thanks for the info.

she stays on lake Michigan mainly. Servicing the small ports like Manitowoc, grand haven, benton harbor and such. i caught her in grand haven this year, she was a pleasant sight to see.

yes it's about the SMC. from the home page click on "Great Lakes Book Shelf" and scroll down a bit. you'll find a brief review of the book and ordering information.

I rode that ship last month.
We took a load of cement to Milwaukee Wis.
She also delivers to Benton Harbor Mi., Chicago Ill., Green Bay and near Spring Lake Mi.
I may have missed a couple of ports here as well, just going from memory from what the Captain told me.

I have that book and haven't had time to read all of it but it's a recommended book to buy.
It has outstanding photos in it for sure.

Has anyone read Centennial:Steaming through the American Century? Is it entirely about St. Mary's Challenger? Had the pleasure of seeing SMC come into Manitowoc this summer. Where else does she go? Awesome boat!
