Now sailing for Lower Lakes as Ojibway, she is one of my all time favorites.  Ojibway was built in 1952 in my hometown of Bay City, at Defoe Shipbuilding, where a number of my family members worked.  I have only saw her in person the one time, Port Huron in 2006.  She was sailing then as the Voyageur Independent.
