One of the last operating coal-burning steamships in the world, the S.S. Badger provides travelers and their automobiles with what is now the only opportunity to ferry across Lake Michigan. Each summer, thousands of tourists enjoy sailing the 60-mile run between Ludington, Michigan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. In 1892, the Ann Arbor Railroad Company introduced a fleet of cross-lake ferries intended to transport railroad cars. By 1897, the Pere Marquette Railroad launched its own fleet out of Ludington, beginning with the S.S. Pere Marquette. For decades, these ships carried freight, and eventually automobiles and people, across Lake Michigan. Today, only the Badger remains. Through a unique collection of archival and contemporary images, this book documents the S.S. Badger's historic career as a provider of cross-lake transport. Vintage advertisements, memorable photographs, rare diagrams, and informative text reveal the fascinating details behind the Lake Michigan Car Ferry's now-rare steam propulsion system, her design and layout, and her development from an icebreaking railroad ferry to a seasonal passenger ferry.

The iconic Lake Michigan car ferry Badger has been providing reliable service between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, since its maiden voyage on March 21, 1953. Originally built as an ice-breaking ferry hauling railroad freight cars, the Badger now transports passengers, automobiles, recreational vehicles, motor coaches, and commercial vehicles including standard-size tractor/trailers and specialized oversized load trailers. The Badger is the last surviving operational example of a large network of railroad ferries crossing Lake Michigan that had once provided a time-saving shortcut for freight shippers, bypassing the long, circuitous route around the bottom of the lake through Chicago's railyards. Today, the Badger performs a different role, saving time, fuel, and mileage for regional tourists and cross-country travelers, and has been designated the continuance route of US Highway 10. Currently under the ownership of Interlake Maritime Services, the historic 410-foot-long ferry begins its seventh decade of service, continuing to bring joy and adventure to new generations of riders as it contributes to the economic vitality of the cities of Ludington and Manitowoc and surrounding regions.

When Dad and Mom, Eric and Adam pack up and leave on their annual summer vacation, no one is aware that Eric is carrying a secret fear that threatens his enjoyment of the trip. Knowing that Eric battles motion sickness, Mom bought him a pair of wristbands that are supposed to combat the nausea. Eric hoped that this innovative device would help make the trip more enjoyable, but his Big Fear remained. The brand-new Ford Explorer is packed to the brim with camping gear and bicycles for four, and Dad points the SUV west, leaving Grand Rapids, Michigan, behind. Traveling through Illinois and Iowa, the boys help watch for road signs that keep them on the right course. Their first destination stop is the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Mystified at why anyone would want to see a building made of corn, the boys discover the uniqueness and beauty of this unusual attraction. Other fun places to visit in South Dakota are the Badlands and Mount Rushmore. Each one has its own beauty and fascinating facts to learn. So far, the wristbands are keeping Eric's motion sickness at bay, but his Big Fear still gnaws at his stomach whenever he thinks about it. The family's far west destination is Glacier National Park. It is here that many surprises wait for them. While Mom's big fear has to do with cougars and bears, Eric's big fear remains at the end of their summer vacation. On the way home to Michigan Eric faces his Big Fear and learns how he can overcome any fear. How will Eric deal with his Big Fear? What is it that has the rest of the family excited that is the source of Eric's Big Fear? Enjoy the Shull family's summer vacation with them and learn what Eric's Big Fear is and how he overcame it. Along the way, you may learn how to overcome your Big Fear too.
