The Vikings pilothouse is to the right of the Reserve's

Was on the dock down by the Sno last week. Maybe they cut it up since then.

Was able to drive by today; Lillian pilothouse is gone (was just the shell-no windows/woodwork etc) the pilothouse off the Donner is starting to look pretty pretty ragged (starboard door is a jar, looks like hinges are busted) Reserve pilothouse looks to be in good shape; did not see the pilot house off the Viking anywhere. Could not stop for pix-no place to park a big rig.

Pictures of Viking? You bet!

will you be getting photos of the Viking?? Hope So!!

That was cut up a few years ago. Before it was the Lillian it was the second 'Marquette & Bessemer No. 2'

I just uploaded the photos I took to the "Viking" thread. The Donner is the one that's used as a barge on the South side of the river, East of the Ogden St. Bridge, correct?

Jake-looking forward to your photos of the Viking being cut down to a barge. I'm prouder than ever to know I possess one of her late 70's-era life rings, a reminder of a more noble past.

There is also another pilot house by the gate and that came from the barge Lillian when she was scrapped there in 1995.

the pic on the bottom is the pilothouse from the reserve from when she was a steamer she now sails as the barge james l kuber an the other one looks to b from the william h donner

While in Menominee taking pictures of the Viking barge conversion, I noticed several pilothouses scattered around the Eastern end of the K&K complex. Does anyone have any ideas where they may have come from?
Thanks
