Description
The Cason J. Callaway freighter in the Duluth Harbor is seen with the Blatnik Bridge in the background.
The Cason J. Callaway is part of the Great Lakes Fleet. She was built in 1952 and has gone through several changes that allow her to continue an active life on the Great Lakes. In 1974, she was lengthened 120 feet to her current length of 767 feet. In 1981, a 262-foot boom was added to her deck converting her to a self-discharging carrier. In 2002, she had extensive rehabilitation at the Fraser Shipyard in Superior. Her steam engine was upgraded rather than replaced, and automation tools were added, moving control of the boat up to the pilot house. The Cason J. Callaway is the most advanced steam powered-boat on the Great Lakes today.
