According to my internet research, the largest merchant vessel on the Great Lakes is the 1,013 foot long, 105 foot wide, S. S. Paul R. Tregurtha. Prior to 1990, this ship was named S. S. William J. De Lancy.

Ocean liners are dependent upon passengers to make a profit. Merchant freighters are dependent upon cargo to make a profit. If you want comfort on a freighter, come dressed as cargo.

The DeLancey wasn't yet around at the time of Fitzgerald's sinking, though. The S/S prefix doesn't really apply, either, 'cause the ship's driven by diesels. I'm sorry...I'm gettin' picky.

DeLancey/Tregurtha, like many Great Lakes freighters, does have a limited number of passenger cabins. Tregurtha is said to be quice nice, and the food is reportedly superb.

I'm somehow related to the former Chief Engineer of the former DeLancey.

Yes it does state that. I guess sometimes there are exceptions to the rule. Like the saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Gosh LeoPlumtree, I have to be more carefull with my postings when you are around .

But technically, if you examine edward9139's posting asking who was the largest, he did not specify during the time the Edmund Fitzgerald was cruising. I answered the question assuming he wanted to know for all time. I know the Paul R. Tregurtha's keel did not get laid until 4 years after the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. So I guess I win on a technicality ..... at least this time.

But you did get me on the S.S. (steamship) designator error.
