[@jefferyfredericksen7760]

i was born and raised in manistee!!!! i remember seeing that ferry docked in frankfort MI awaiting its fate.

[@TheNonchalantGamer]

I live near this, about 25-ish minutes or so away, for Halloween they make it an attraction and you walk through with people jumping out at you and I used to go a lot, so much fun!

[@jefflandis7710]

Very cool!! My family and I toured the City of Milwaukee a couple weeks ago. We all found found it extremely interesting. Even my 6 year old grandson.

[@johnedward5520]

I would pay good money to watch a full length movie of the two of you acting as railroad executives from the early 20th century hahaha 😂 classic!

[@RestlessViking]

😂😂😅

[@matth5309]

Stayed here last weekend. Had a great time and slept like a baby. Very relaxing.

[@BikerJim74]

I had no idea this existed, thanks for the video

[@mirandafrazier7383]

During the fall they decorate it for Halloween and turn it into a haunted ship!

[@davidkoehler136]

I remember when it was still hauling freight cars

[@matthewgross6958]

How have I missed this video? Popped up with the SS Badger search. 😂😂

[@RestlessViking]

😂🤣

[@sixramsalot]

that is awesome i gotta get there!

[@3jbsaddict]

Hey! I know those workers! I volunteer every year for when they turn it into Manistee’s Ghost Ship!

[@FjHenderson]

Really nice, has more paint and lighting since I was on her. I didn't know that they had overnight stays there. Did you see the picture in the wheel house of a wave crashing over the wheel house? That's a big wave. Thanks again

[@RestlessViking]

I did see it. Big Wave.

[@LaurenaLaCroix]

❤❤❤ adventure, overnight, ❤❤❤ thank u viking ❤

[@MrSchwach]

Drove by it many times and fish that lake often, but I have never stopped and toured this ship. After seeing the video, it's on my to do list. Thanks for the great video.

[@enterprisebaby2467]

What a fabulous video!! I love this ship. Every time I see her, I learn something new. There's even a photo of one of the Chief Stewards in the galley. The COM is truly living history.

[@SewHappy061]

How cool is this? Thank you for sharing. You two are so delightful to watch.

[@RestlessViking]

Thanks Wendy!

[@toddo2667]

Love that area!

[@paulharwood1281]

Great video :)

[@kloss213]

Interesting and well produced. Thank you!!!

[@RestlessViking]

Aww. Thanks!

[@HESSIAN578]

Around 10 or so years ago, we acquired the original captains sea coat along with documents like his captains license and immigration papers. We also have various other things that had been owned by him.

[@phillipgarrow2297]

I'm only live only a hour away I've been there several times it's fabulous

[@stephenmossner6351]

Brave Vikings, both of you!

[@tonystidham4564]

I was in Manistee in 2021, and drove up to the ship to check it out, but sadly it was closed that day

[@stephenrrose]

I love your adventures, I'm always learning something! That was really cool and love the history! Thank you for sharing.

[@davehayes5969]

But of course... love you guys!

[@jeannebrauher3587]

This is very cool!

[@nathansweeney9877]

I wouldn't like to pay too much money to be cold indoors, What time of year did you go? Interesting video thanks

[@RestlessViking]

It wasn't that cold - Poppins gets cold though. Maybe 55 F and they had heaters in the rooms if you wanted to use them. I believe it was early June during an unusual cold spell.

[@LadyYoop]

That is so awesome...but what was crawling in the walls?

[@RestlessViking]

Good question. I think just a couple of rodents were crawling around between decks. It was just a couple of moments of scratching and running across the ceiling in the night. I didn't think anyone read the comments. LOL.

[@LadyYoop]

@@RestlessViking OOPS!!

[@mestep511]

I don’t have enough years left. Hmmm, pick a video, let’s go!

[@RonRussell-sj1zf]

Not sure if that is same vessel but when I was about 12 yo (1959) my parents and I took a ferry from Muskegon, Mi. to Milwaukee, took about 8 hours or so, and we slept all night on the crossing.

[@anthonygiglio9860]

Fantastic Video enjoyed It😊

[@RestlessViking]

Thank you very much!

[@thebairdMi]

Thanks!

[@RestlessViking]

Welcome! Thank you!

[@dieselmann34]

Is that the ship, that use to be docked in Frankfort Michigan?

[@MrSheckstr]

Better on the City on milwaukee ,in Michigan, than to stay on Michigan, in the city of Milwaukee

[@leoverran311]

Flickering lights are never a good sign, make sure smoke alarm works and exits are clear

[@bryanlosen3262]

Is Poppins partner Hobo Shoestring?

[@stevekunde123]

Interesting. Was the list ever explained? Or was that just an illusion on camera?

[@RestlessViking]

List? Time stamp?

[@stevekunde123]

Must have just been a camera effect. It looked like the whole boat was leaning to starboard. Still plan on checking it out.

[@RestlessViking]

@@stevekunde123 Ah! LOL. I thought you met a "List of Items". 🤣😂 Yeah, there wasn't any noticeable list on the ship. But, now that you mention it, it does look like it is listing on film.

[@chuckieb3798]

James Earl Jones is from that area! Darth Vader voice.

[@jamiedevries6123]

I went on a in it

[@bryanlosen3262]

Poppins? What kind of a name is that!?

[@tetraire3844]

Odd, I wondered the same thing many years ago when I had some lasting experiences with another teacher named Poppins . I have not met the Poppins of these wonderful videos so I can not give an authoritative answer for her but , as a very young student and aspiring teacher, I learned that to succeed as she had, one needed to be both stern and tender, secret and proud, anonymous and loving, quietly moving with confidence, though occasionally a bit fanciful and flighty, hoping for subconscious influence on those who knew them. Many, many similarities between these two. Though neither have ever said so, I believe the surname is originally British, perhaps from a line of educators.

All 10 dispensaries are right next door

[@RestlessViking]

😂

[@tommcadam9897]

The locals call that stretch of US 31 "The Green Mile."
