Lake Michigan Car Ferry Service
The Lake Michigan Carferry Service is a ferry service across Lake Michigan from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This is a 100-kilometer sailing route that takes about four hours. It is the longest domestic ferry service in the United States. The ferry service only operates from May to October.
The ferry service was established in 1953 and was owned by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway as a train service. From Ludington they originally sailed to three destinations in Wisconsin, namely Milwaukee, Manitowoc and Kewaunee. Ferries to Milwaukee and Manitowoc were discontinued in 1972. There was then only the route from Ludington to Kewaunee left. This route was also discontinued in 1990.
In 1991 ferry service was reactivated between Ludington and Manitowoc, this time as the Lake Michigan Carferry Service, without a train component. The ferry SS Badger has been converted for this purpose to only transport motor vehicles. The SS Badger is special because it is the last coal-fired ferry on the Great Lakes and in 2016 the boat was awarded National Historic Landmark status.
