The S.S. Badger was originally built to ferry railroad cars across Lake Michigan and did so until 1990. It has provided passenger and vehicle ferry service between Michigan and Wisconsin since 1953. The trip is 60 miles and takes four hours. The Badger is the last coal-fired passenger steamship in the U.S. and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.
