2/14 - Historical Perspective - Brian Wroblewski US Navy Heavy Cruiser USS MACON coming up through the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959. She is seen in the locks of the lower Seaway, the Welland Canal, and also docked in Cleveland. Notice she's missing the tops of her masts for transit through the bridges of the Seaway. She was the only Heavy Cruiser to ever transit the Lakes, and nothing came close to her size until the Light Cruiser Little Rock was towed to Buffalo in 1976. The MACON may hold the lakes speed record for a ship for her full military power run across Lake Erie after clearing the Welland Canal behind schedule after damaging her propeller guards on her way to Chicago for a Naval Ship's Review. The ship also visited Buffalo on her way back to Boston at the end of her tour.
