The badger used to leave from my local harbor just a few blocks from me. Now it goes to Manitowoc about 30 miles south of me. I see it come and go but I have never been on it because I suffer from from sea sickness at the slightest movement. It is old. But there were much older ones. And it was generally overhauled. When ferries left out of our town they could hold about 25 train cars as well as cars and people. It was very cool. But our town is a lot cleaner now. Our harbor is filled with fishing boats and the Army Core of Engineers. It seems every harbor has its specialties. Some do sale boats, others handle cruise ships, and still others are industrial or have a Coast Guard station. When the train stopped transporting ore and logs from the UP by train through Green Bay and out our harbor, we got funding to clean up the harbor and turn the tracks to tails. Now its a sleep little town with world class views.
