SUPERIOR BOATS 3291 "Freighter passing the Susie Islands and Rock of Ages Lighthouse" Grand Portage, MN
SUPERIOR BOATS 1134 "Waiting for the next trip" The passenger ferry "Voyageur II" waits patiently for its next voyage to Isle Royale National Park from its dock in Grand Portage, MN. This image was taken in late September 2010 as the Isle Royale boating season was winding down. The Voyageur II is a 60' aluminum-hulled ferry that has been providing mail and passenger service to Isle Royale National Park since the early 1970's. It is the only ferry that circumnavigates the entire island, making several stops along the way so hikers and paddlers can have options for hiking or canoeing/kayaking different portions of the island.
