🚢SECRETS of the OLDEST freighter on the Great Lakes😱 Recently, I had the opportunity to tour the SS Alpena during its visit to Northeast Michigan. As the oldest working ship on the Great Lakes, it already stands out — but it’s especially meaningful to our district, as it shares its name with our largest community: Alpena. #alpena #greatlakes ##freighters | Cam Cavitt - State Representative

Great Freighters on Instagram: "For over 8 decades, the Alpena has sailed the Great Lakes. She’s the oldest active Great Lakes freighter in service and she hauls cement. Yep. Cement, not iron ore. She’s a rare sight on the St. Marys River mostly traveling between cement ports and her home or Alpena, Michigan. #freighter #boatnerd #shipping"
