Thanks for posting this. Brings back alot of memories from when I sailed on her.

Don't miss the Thunder Bay winters though.

drivingmenutso: I imagine that's right! How in the hell can anyone live in a place that gets 2 feet of ice over the river in the winter? DAMN that's cold.  Btw, that ship looks like it could tunnel through concrete. lol

Actually, the Risley has just shy of 8,800 BHP, and then there are losses through gearboxes and shafting...

@thegreasemonkey69 Samuel Risley generates 8840 BHP from her 4 Wartsilla V12 diesel engines. Even with the "losses" associated with her gearboxes, shafting, etc. there is nothing on the Great Lakes that can keep up with her in the ice.
