Description
Since 1952, the S.S. Badger has been making a seasonal four-hour trek across Lake Michigan connecting Manitowoc, WI and Ludington, MI. The low drone of the rumbling engines along with waves gently crashing across the hull make for a soothing combination of white noise.

So climb aboard and take a relaxing slow-paced journey on this moving National Historic Landmark. 43.94932, -86.45034
