5-13-16 badger car ferry honored

LUDINGTON, Mich. (AP) — A Ludington-based car ferry has received a national historic landmark plaque.  The Lake Michigan Carferry was awarded plaques for the SS Badger at a Thursday morning ceremony. The 410-foot-long Badger once hauled rail cars across Lake Michigan. It was later converted to a car and passenger ferry and now makes daily trips between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, from mid-May through mid-October.  It is the last Great Lakes car ferry still in operation.  The U.S. Department of the Interior announced the historic designation earlier this year.
