The Chamber Notebook:
S.S. Badger
|
S.S. Badger Lake Michigan carferry season begins
The S.S. Badger is the last coal-fired passenger steamship in operation in the United States. She has provided a fun, reliable and affordable shortcut across beautiful Lake Michigan for more than 60 years and has transported millions of passengers since her re-birth in 1992.
In 2016, the S.S. Badger received the nation's highest historic honor when the Department of Interior designated the vessel as a National Historic Landmark (NHL). The Badger is extremely unique in that she is an NHL that moves.
The 410-foot S.S. Badger can accommodate 600 passengers and 180 vehicles, including RVs, motorcycles, motor coaches and commercial trucks during her sailing season.
Originally designed primarily to transport railroad cars, this grand ship and the people who serve her have successfully adapted to the changing world since she first entered service in 1953.
Her unique and bold character takes you back to a period of time when things were simpler - offering valuable time to slow down, relax ... and reconnect with those you love. She is the continuation of a unique and vital maritime tradition, and we celebrate that heritage on board in fun ways that educate and entertain. Her mission has changed from the days of carrying railroad cars 365 days a year, and the Badger's role in the hearts of the areas she serves has not.

Meet Natalie Hamilton - mother, wife, nurse, photographer and small business owner of graced!
Hi, everyone! I'm Natalie Hamilton, owner of graced in Manitowoc County. My husband John and I are US Navy veterans and transplants to the Manitowoc area. I am originally from the Milwaukee area, and John grew up in Denver. We relocated to Manitowoc for John's job at Aurora Medical Center; he is a Nurse Anesthetist. We reside in Manitowoc and have lived here for three years (a perfect place to grow and raise our family). We have four children, Tyler, James, Norma Jean and Anna and a golden retriever, Henry! When not working, I like to slip away and ride with my daughters at Forward Horse Farm in Manitowoc; I like to think it keeps me sane at busy times!
We love Manitowoc County because it has allowed us to grow as a family and personally as a small business owner! Knowing my customers on a first name basis, having acres of farmland to ride on, feeling safe and having the many amenities of a small town atmosphere; we love calling Manitowoc our HOME!
Labor and Delivery Nurse by trait, I've had big dreams, I mean really big dreams! Simply with hard work and a leap of courage, graced was developed. We envisioned the small retail space a place where people could rent items, mostly unique vintage finds, to style weddings and events. As planning for graced was underway we realized that we not only wanted to be a store that catered to brides and couples. We wanted to be a place where anyone could stop by and find something that they loved and could envision in their home. We decided to add in retail and focus on smaller home decor items, developed the graced box while specializing in unique items sourced from small businesses throughout the United States.
And here we are - graced opened June of 2016. With tremendous support and thanks to social media and the awesome Manitowoc community spreading the word, we have had visitors to graced from Green Bay, Appleton and even as far as Madison and Milwaukee!
