Dennis, thanks for this special video of a favorite Grand Ole Lady of the Lakes, and one of the few surviving WWII veterans (as USS Chiwawa), both human and otherwise. Some might notice a dark strip under the pilothouse in this video, that's her battle ribbons. (There's an old closeup photo of them in the Duluth Shipping News archives on their website.) I also recall seeing her in Duluth under her previous name of William Clay Ford. Grammie Pat, Roberts, Wisconsin
Loved it!
