The Navy Ship "Freedom" made it first maiden voyage after leaving the shipyard in Marietta WI. Sault Ste Marie was the very first stop it made on her way up to Duluth MN. She stopped here for about 4 hours. We were able to go on board the ship and meet the crew. She can go about 55mph and has a draft of 13.5 ft.

Great job, keep up the good work. The 'Freedom' was built in Marinette WI. Sure wish I lived on the St. Mary's River. Keep us posted... Bucky
Thanks for the information and the compliment. Yes, the St. Marys River is a great place to live and watch the boats. But the snow is moving in now and I'm moving south for a while. I'll write more about that later this week. Do you ever get to the Soo?
