This ship was built in Sturgeon Bay, WI in 1978 and christened the "Lewis Wilson Foy" in June of that year. She carried taconite for her owner, Bethlehem Steel until 1991, when she was sold to a subsidiary of Oglebay Norton Co.of Cleveland, OH who renamed her. Externally this ship looks identical to her predecessor, the McCarthy, including the power plant. She seems to have become a favorite of Great Lakes ship-watchers - maybe it's the designer-style company logo.
