By the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs and the courage of our hearts. Gentlemen, hoist the colours.

A few more pictures from my visit to the Col. James M. Schoonmaker, a freighter museum ship that began her life at Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ecorse, Michigan, in 1911. She carried coal on her maiden voyage from Toledo, Ohio to Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

She was actively sailing the Great Lakes until 1980, and of course she was updated and refitted to work for so many decades. But a lot of furniture on board is original: they never bothered to replace her apparently indestructible, very heavy wood furniture from before the Great War. You wouldn't know it was so old. The table and chairs are 1911 orginals, the captain's cabin and few guest rooms are still nicely appointed.
