For nearly ninety years, lake freighters belonging to the Inland Steel fleet transported the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of steel at their owner’s sprawling industrial complex at Indiana Harbor, Indiana. Easily distinguishable from vessels operated by other shipping companies following the incorporation of a unique color scheme in 1950, the members of the Inland Steel fleet became some of the most recognizable and popular ships to ever sail the waters of the Great Lakes. This volume traces the history of this fleet from its formation, through an era of expansion that included the construction of two groundbreaking vessels and the rebuilding of its older units, to its demise following the sale of the Inland Steel Company in 1998. In addition, complete factual accounts chronicle the careers of each of the ten vessels that served in this fleet over its long history.

This book charts the history of shipping on the Great Lakes during the 1980s. In doing so, it relates the accidents, vessel transitions, fleet sales, and other events that occurred during the decade. The adverse economic realities faced by the Great Lakes shipping industry during this period shaped the fleet of U.S. and Canadian lake carriers to meet the challenges in the following decades. In fact, the reconstruction projects carried out during the 1980s to modernize existing ships have enabled many of these same vessels remain economically viable up to and including the present day. Many of the events, especially those minor in nature, that appear in the pages of this book have been largely forgotten today. From the Back Cover GREAT LAKES SHIPPING LOG 1980-1989 is a detailed study chronicling the events of one of the most challenging periods in the history of shipping on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. While the decade represented the end of what has proven thus far to be the last major phase of shipbuilding on the Inland Seas, it also witnessed a large number of demolition sales that removed over one-third of the vessels in the U.S. and Canadian lake fleets. In addition to others, features of this narrative include: new vessel construction and modernization projects, vessel name changes, fleet sales and acquisitions, accidents and other pertinent events, seasonal cargo statistics, historical synopses for many of the ships sold for dismantling, and over 1,000 vessel names cross-referenced. About the Author Raymond A. Bawal Jr. has had a lifelong interest in Great Lakes shipping and has authored four other books on the subject. Listed in the order in which they were published, these books were as follows: Ships of the St. Clair River, Twilight of the Great Lakes Steamer, Superships of the Great Lakes, and The Inland Steel Fleet 1911-1998.
