Lake Express High Speed Ferry June 2004 MAIDEN VOYAGE Hat Muskegon - Milwaukee

Description

I have 3 Ultra Rare Black with Light Blue Embroidered hats from the Milwaukee based High Speed Ferry LAKE EXPRESS. These hats are from the
June 2004 Maiden Voyage
and have been gently stored in a box since that day!!! The hats are adjustable with a cloth strap and also have "Take the Lake" on the back!!!
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Great Lakes shipping history.
Lake Express is a high-speed autoand passenger ferry that is in service on a route across Lake Michigan. Lake Express links the cities of Milwaukee, Wisconsinand Muskegon, Michigan from late spring to the fall of each year.
The ship travels at a top speed of 40 miles per hour (34 knots) and makes the 68 nautical mile trip three times daily from each side of the lake during the peak of its operational schedule. Lake Express is able to cross the lake in two and a half hours. It was constructed by Austal USA inMobile, Alabama, and began service on June 1, 2004. It was one of the first high-speedcatamaran-style auto/passenger ferries built in the United States. It was also the first high-speed car ferry to see service on theGreat Lakes, beating out theSpirit of Ontario I, which was beset by a series of last-minute delays, by one month.
On August 21, 2005, the ferry rescued a man whose boat had capsized in the middle of Lake Michigan.]
