Hello everyone 👋
Today, we explored the historic S.S. Badger car ferry! We sailed on the Badger from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. We did a 48 hour mini cruise, it gave us the perfect amount of time to check out Manitowoc. There are so many great restaurants, museums and hotels. Check out our videos on everything we did! What an amazing ship. If you ever have the chance to sail on the Badger we 100% recommend it!
Thank you so much for watching and have a great rest of your day! 👍 💯

Is this the Caribbean’s? No this is Lake Michigan. Very cool interesting video. #ssbadger

Lake Michigan is a one of a kind place. So many unique things to do and see. Hopefully, you can take a trip to experience all the glory of her beauty some day. 😎

This boat looks interesting for sure, geared turbines? A relic from the 1950s cool, I had the good fortune of traveling to the Isle of Wight in 99 and got to ride the now retired 1938 tube stock 😎

I lived in Ludington, my Dad, Uncles and brother worked these ships when they were part of C&O Railroad. I remember there were 4 of them t one time, the Spartan is used for parts to keep the Badger going, I rode them across Lake michigan many many times....this was when they were working ships, not tourists ships, they loaded train cars and vehicles on them with passengers

I wonder if your dad and uncles knew Jerry Stever? my dad worked the car ferries as well.

I was the niece of the fleet engineer...Sylvester Larsen....back in the 50's so we got to ride on the car ferry many many times. It certainly didn't look like this one. Absolutely beautiful. Plan to take a ride this summer.

54 years ago on our Honeymoon we went from Wisconsin to Michigan. It was a very stormy passage. Thanks for sharing this video 😅😂. We had stateroom with bunk beds and the toilet was behind a curtain and during the storms we could hear the water splashing onto the floor

Nothing like it used to be 39 years ago. Nice to see the improvements. The lower deck was loaded full with rail cars at that time. There was a lounge onboard and that was about it.

Awesome thats my hometown. My class in high school had the Prom dance on the badger.

I road the Badger in the 90s as a kid. I honestly don't remember much at all. I don't remember arcade games...

I rode the Badger as a youngster in the 90s as well. I don’t remember much of it, but I know that Badger Bingo is he place to be! Thanks for watching!

The Badger would be a ship I would like to see some day. What can we say about Lake Michigan? It's a Great Lake, I live on Lake Huron in Goderich, ON, Canada and it looks about the same. Sunsets are gorgeous on the Great Lakes (or just Lake Huron as the only other Great Lakes I have been to are Lake Erie from Port Stanley, ON and Lake Ontario from Toronto).

@TrueNorthDueSouth Ай бұрын

Lake Michigan is beautiful as well. The SSBadger is a time capsule of maritime travel. The experience is unique and our family is looking forward to our next journey. Lake Huron is impressive and gorgeous as well!

Twenty some years ago my late wife and I took out goldwing on the ferry before returning across the u.p. and down the bridge on a two week adventure

@scottlin777 Ай бұрын

I am planning to take my motorcycle onto this ship. On their website it says the owners of the motorcycle have to supply their own tiedowns. Is this true and how many tiedowns did you have? Did you ride your goldwing onto the ship or does an employee? Looking forward to this adventure next week.

@purenugget3782 Жыл бұрын

I live in scottville which is right next to ludington but I've never been on the badger

@scottlin777 Ай бұрын

Did you say the workers load the autos? I just assumed the owners of the cars drove them onto the ship. What about motorcycles? Do the owners or workers ride them onto the ship? Thanks.
