Follow Up on the Badger

I wanted to add some support to my previous post, showing the Badger coming into Ludington, Michigan. [The image above is from the same series, taken recently, July 18th 2024.]

I mentioned the Spartan, sister ship to the Badger. Here's a shot of it from three years ago, sitting in Ludington where it is stored and used for spare parts for the Badger.

I also have a few shots of the Badger (from the late-1970s) when it was hauling railroad cars between Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and what I assume to have been Ludington. These two black and white analog images were made in Milwaukee; the ship was part of the C&O Railway at the time—as the Chessie logo on the stack attests.

The first image above shows the ship in its entirety, while the second illustrates how and where the rail cars were loaded into the aft end of the ship. When it was hauling rail, one could book passage, as well as take your auto along (apparently).

Postcards from Snagglepuss

So here we are, back in Wisconsin again ...

Having made the crossing of Lake Michigan via the SS Badger car ferry, Huckleberry Hound as much as yours truly show up in Manitowoc (of all places) with what could be some interesting runups: The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Oshkosh Fly-In and Sheboygan's Brat Day (as in bratwurst).

But at any rate, we hie ourselves to some back street bar close to what now passes for the dock areas of Manitowoc, which has a modestly viable shipbuilding industry, as some time at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum revealed unto us. But what turned out being all the more fascinating was the Manitowoc-built World War II submarine USS Cobia, which--depending on your framework--can be either claustrophobic or fascinating. On occasion, one can do an overnighter aboard the sub, but considering our modest motorhome approach, that was bound to be ruled out--still, stand on the Cobia's crowsnest and look out upon Lake Michigan and Manitowoc's skyline, and just consider what being back in such a state as Wisconsin, bound to be the butt of humour galore, must be like.

"And let's just hope for some decent cheese shops," Huckleberry Hound remarked. "Especially such as aren't touristy-looking."

Which would be followed by Peter Potamus (of all characters!) calling me on my mobile phone from the Diver's Delight, formerly the Jolly Rodger of Yogi Bear in treasure-hunting assignments; he and some of his divers were going to do some diving in--wait for it--LAKE WINNEBAGO!! (Which, as it just so happens, may be of substantial size among Wisconsin's lakes, but has an average depth of some 23 feet from the surface, making the escapade even more interesting, and doing so with SCUBA and breathhold. Even more interesting: The dive party would be doing their escapades on the eastern side of Lake Winnebago, mainly considering the crowds that the EAA Fly-In is bound to generate, and what's more, Peter Potamus would like of us to maybe join them in some diving.

"I admit, Peter, that it's been awhile since we were out diving," saith I, "but we're certain to have your company ... Hopefully to the northeast of Fond du Lac."

"How did you guess our bearings?!" Peter Potamus remarked incredulously.

"Just a wild guess ... and more than likely, we plan to be spending time at Sheboygan's Brat Day."

"Wouldn't THAT be an interesting run for the money?"

At any rate, next time, we hope to join Peter Potamus and friends in diving Lake Winnebago.
