1942 WWII STEAMSHIP SS ALPENA ANDRIE TRANSPORTATION GROUP by Windsor Aerial Drone Photography.

Описание: FREIGHTER FRIDAY WITH THE SS ALPENA.


Originally launched as the SS Leon Fraser in 1942, this 82 year old is looking as good as ever on this September morning of 2024.


Unlike other freighters that frequent various locks in the Great Lakes, her hull remains pretty well unblemished.


And while it's not uncommon for older lake freighters to be lengthened, an interesting tidbit about her is that she was actually shortened by 120 feet back in 1989 when she was converted to a cement carrier.


A regular site on the Detroit River, the Alpena continues to be a favourite among freighter enthusiasts.


This beauty is the oldest active steamship operating on the Great Lakes.
