SS ''Milwaukee Clipper'', also known as SS ''Clipper'' , and formerly as SS ''Juniata'', is a retired passenger ship and automobile ferry that sailed under two configurations and traveled on all of the Great Lakes except Lake Ontario. Along with the SS Keewatin, ''Milwaukee Clipper'' is one of only two US passenger steamships left on the Great Lakes.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Clipper history )〕 The vessel is now docked in Muskegon, Michigan. ==''Juniata''== Her story begins on 22 December 1904, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the shipyards of the American Shipbuilding Company. Christened ''Juniata'' when launched, she was built for the Anchor Line, the Great Lakes marine division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Her sister ships are the SS ''Tionesta'' and SS ''Octorara''. The ship is in length, in beam, a depth of , with a gross tonnage of 4333 tons. She carried 350 passengers in staterooms at 18 knots. As originally built, she had a riveted steel hull and a magnificent wooden superstructure. For the Pennsylvania Railroad, she carried passengers and freight between Buffalo, New York and Duluth, Minnesota until 1915. That year, the anti-monopoly Panama Canal Act,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Panama Canal Act () )〕 which forbade railroads from owning steamships, went into effect. Divesting its marine divisions, the Pennsylvania Railroad sold its Anchor Line along with four other railroad-owned company fleets, to the newly formed Great Lakes Transit Corporation. Under this flag, she carried passengers along her old routes 〔 〕 for another 20 seasons. ''Juniata'' was laid up in 1937 after the closing of the Chicago World's Fair. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milwaukee Clipper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
