In 1975 after my graduation from high school, October of that year, I wanted to get a job working on that ship, it was my dream to get a job and working, sailing on the Great Lakes shipping industry. Didn't get the job, though, was disappointed.
Peter Pulcer was the Fitz captain who’d blare Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass on the ships loudspeakers. I would have preferred the ship to be known by Herb Alpert music versus Gordon Lightfoot.
It defiantly looks like one of the AAA Class Freighters. It looks like it also has the Great Lakes Fleet colors on it's stack. It also could have been the Arthur M. Anderson, or Cason J. Calloway.
