Fresh Friday! Routine maintenance happens every year on our Skinner Unaflow engines during the off-season to make sure they are ready to go when our season starts. With precision and teamwork, our crew carefully lifts the cover off the top of our 20 feet high engines to inspect the seals. These engines are one of the reasons the BADGER became a National Historic Landmark on this day in 2016. | S.S. Badger: Lake Michigan Carferry
