SS Edward L. Ryerson

Edward L. Ryerson in 2007

SS Edward L. Ryerson is a steel-hulled American Great Lakes freighter which entered service in 1960. Built between 1959 and 1960 for the Inland Steel Company, she was a member of the so-called 730-class of lake freighters, which shared the unofficial title of "Queen of the Lakes" due to their record-breaking length of 730 feet (222.5 m). She began her maiden voyage on August 4, 1960, heading from Escanaba, Michigan, for Indiana Harbor, Indiana, with a cargo of iron ore. Edward L. Ryerson quickly became popular boats on the lakes, to the point that there were rumours she would regularly be directed through the MacArthur Lock for the benefit of boat watchers. She set two Great Lakes cargo haulage records during the 1960s, with the latter being broken in 1965. A downturn in the steel industry, Edward L. Ryerson was laid up in 1986 and 1987; she returned to service in 1988. She was again laid up in January 1994, and remained inactive until 2006. In 2009, Edward L. Ryerson went into layup in Superior, Wisconsin, where she remains as of 2022. (Full article...)
