I once had the opportunity to ride the "Fast Freddie", Fred R. Wright Jr., from Mackinaw (Soo Locks) to the Duluth Coal Docks. It didn't sink.
The Freddie was the smallest boat I've been on, the Gott was the biggest. I did Electrical Commissiong on all ten Bay Ship 750 hulls in the 70-80's in Sturgeon Bay WI.

......The Freddie was the smallest boat.....
“Paddle to the Sea” was probably the smallest.

from Mackinaw (Soo Locks) to the Duluth Coal DocksI grew up on Lake Charlevoix and used to watch the smaller coal freighters sail up the lake from Charlevoix and dump coal at the local tannery in Boyne City. They'd also make a first stop at the power plant in Advance. This was back in the 50's
