3-17- South Shore launch anniversary - Sean Whelan |
||||
|
Moored at the base of Navy Pier in Odgen Slip, the M/V South Shore celebrates her 64th birthday March 17. Now owned by Shoreline Cruises, she is in long term lay-up and serving as a storage vessel for the many vessels operated by the company. Built for the Miller Boat Line of Middle Bass Island Ohio, she carried 6 cars and 270 passengers. In 1973, she was sold to America's "Emerald Isle" and made the 32 mile trip, along with her new sister, the "Beaver Islander", countless times. When the new Emerald Isle II was delivered, she made her final run on Labor Day of 1997. Having been launched on Saint Patrick's Day 1945, good luck will continue to follow her as she continues a well deserved retirement. |
