About

The S.S. Badger was built and launched in 1952 and began daily service on March 21, 1953, originally designed primarily to carry railroad cars. In 2016 she was designated a National Historic Landmark.

In December 2020, Lake Michigan Car Ferry, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Interlake Maritime Services, purchased the S.S. Badger together with her sister ship Spartan and the assets of Pere Marquette Shipping Company, which runs the tug-barge Undaunted-Pere Marquette 41. Interlake describes itself as the largest privately held U.S.-flag fleet on the Great Lakes.
