The BADGER was launched on September 6th, 1953 in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Being the largest carferry ever built, it was expected that she would make a splash when launched. Rail cars were strategically placed to protect buildings, however, the wave was much larger than anticipated, clearing the top of the railcars and pushing them over. She entered into service on March 21, 1953, and has created and continued a Legacy on Lake Michigan. Big Ship, More Fun! | S.S. Badger: Lake Michigan Carferry

#OTD in 1968, a Soviet TU-16 Badger crashed while buzzing USS Essex (CVS-9) in the Norwegian Sea. After making a low pass of the carrier at 50 feet above the water, the Badger's wingtip hit a wave that sent the bomber into a cartwheel. None of the aircrew survived. | U.S. Naval Institute

SS Badger hits another boat while docking in Ludington, but its 2025 season will continue

For more than 70 years, the SS Badger has been a shortcut across Lake Michigan, carrying people, cars and freight between Ludington and Wisconsin. It’s the last coal-fired passenger steamship in the U.S. and a floating piece of Michigan history. But that legacy comes with a cost. The ship still runs on coal and its emissions have drawn criticism. Its owners want to change that, with hopes to have a plan by 2026 to go emissions-free. #lakemichigan | Bridge Michigan
