S.S. Badger Ferry Suspends Lake Michigan Service Due to Mechanical Failure
TL;DR
The S.S. Badger ferry, which carries traffic across Lake Michigan from Ludington, Michigan, to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, has suspended trips indefinitely due to a mechanical failure of its ramping system. The ferry's owner, Lake Michigan Carferry, is working with a quick-response team to repair the issue. Ticketed passengers can call for a refund or to change their reservation. The S.S. Badger, a National Historic Landmark, was built in 1953 and can accommodate 600 passengers and 180 vehicles.
