Description
The self-unloading cement carrier St. Marys Challenger was built as a traditional Great Lakes bulk carrier as Hull #17 by Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse (Detroit), Mich., in 1906. This veteran of the lakes was launched February 7, 1906 as the William P. Snyder for Shenango Steamship & Transportation Co. (a subsidiary of Shenango Furnace Co.), Cleveland, Ohio.
Until she was taken to Bay Shipbuilding Co., Sturgeon Bay, Wis., in November 2013 for conversion to an articulated barge, the vessel was the oldest operating self-propelled cargo vessel on the Great Lakes, if not North America.
