Conquering the Straits of Mackinac: Chief Wawatam

The sound of its deep whistle, huge plumes of black smoke, and aroma of its coal-fired boilers meant the railroad car ferry Chief Wawatam was back in town. These sights, sounds, and smells were once a daily part of life in the Michigan communities of St. Ignace and Mackinaw City for over seven decades. When built in 1911, it was the largest ice-breaking ferry in the world and served as a vital link between the state’s upper and lower peninsulas. Even after its ultimate scrapping in 2009, many still hold a soft spot in their hearts for the vessel. 3D Animation: ‪@Blue-Star-Line‬ Sources: Northwest Michigan Rail Study: https://web.archive.org/web/201910160...
