Built by:

Don Manlick

Vessel Name:

Manitowoc

 Don is close to finishing his model of the Detroit to Windsor Car Ferry Manitowoc. Of course it's HO scale 1/87 which puts her at 45" long with a beam of 9.25". These are some of the most unique car ferrys ever built. They may look like a simple barge, but they are far from it! Somehow they manage to pack two steam engine below deck, with enough power to push though the winter river ice!
