In late Spring, 2023, I was invited to visit the Milwaukee Clipper at her current berth in Muskegon, Michigan. It’s been over 80 years since she became the Milwaukee Clipper and almost 120 years since her first construction as the Juniata. She’s clearly worn out and tired, but the first impression is that she’s well loved.
In this video, we’re going to dive into the history of the oldest surviving Great Lakes passenger vessel, learn about the long and illustrious career it had under two completely different identities, and take a detailed tour of the museum ship today. We’ll be climbing deep into the lowest parts of the historic vessel, and seeing the hard work going into keeping one of the most important pieces of Great Lakes history afloat after 120 years.
