Great Lakes Salutes - The Voice of the Ships

Salutes of various Great Lakes vessels over the last 20 years. Includes several ships that have since been scrapped or are no longer steam powered.

[@danielunderhill5004]

Let's hope the Arthur Anderson never gets scrapped she's a historic vessel ..she sailed with the Edmund Fitzgerald on her last voyage in 1975 before the Fitzgerald went down with all hands

[@forgemasterwolf290]

Arthur m Anderson keeps going strong so does Philip r Clarke same can't be said about cason j callaway
