Steamer Reserve arriving Green Bay on July 31st, 2007 to unload limestone. This unload would be the last time the Reserve delivered a load before being cut down into a barge,.
That was beautiful, my father captained the boat form the 80's through the 90's before he retireed. I painted on the boat, and my sons both got to pilot that ship from Port Huron to Detroit. Long live "My Captain", RIP Dad. Proud son of a great Father, Grandfather, Husband and friend.
worst part is, not long after they chopped em, KK logistics got bored of them and sold them to some other division or company. I wonder what became of the pilothouse, it would be cool if it turned up as a cottage somewhere :P
i kno these ship are great for videos and pics but when they turn um into barges they remove the pilot house and everything and that takes the the freight out of freighter
@adamlikestoshank
apparently the pilothouse is still at k&k logistics sitting around, I hope someone takes it for a cottage before they decide to sell it for scrap.

These are great looking boats and i disagree with the fact they have to be cut down into disgusting barges...
