Lake Michigan Car Ferry under way - the SS Badger is the last remaining car ferry operating on Lake Michigan.


As the only coal-fired steamship in operation in North America, the Badger operates on domestic fuel, and the company has an extraordinary commitment to maintaining a unique propulsion system that has been designated as a national mechanical engineering landmark. The Badger offers an authentic steamship experience unmatched anywhere else. The 410' Badger entered service in 1953, designed specifically to handle the rough conditions that it would likely encounter during year 'round sailing on Lake Michigan.
