Story
This ferry, passenger/car was built in 1952 by Weld-Ship Corp. in Port Richmond , NY.
Historical Notes
George Schneider (July 2026) writes: Her original assignment was to be a passenger ferry between the Philadelphia Navy Yard and National Park New Jersey.
In 2026 she was seen at the MCM yard in Sault Ste Marie MI, so presumably is operated by them and appears to be serving as a floating base for that company's waterfront construction projects.
