This is a website for enthusiasts of Great Lakes shipping.

I thought it would provide an interesting comparison between great lakes boatnerds, and us Coastal BoatNerds.

On the website, check out the page for "2006 Boatnerd
Gatherings".......likely some of our CoastalNerds have similar aspirations.

They even have a discussion forum that's linked to their page.

I found this link off the boatnerd.com site.

www.carferries.com/

Lots of history about the car and rail ferries of the Great Lakes.

Thanks for that link.

I find it interesting in terminology that Great-Lakes USA says "carferry" (all 1 word), us in BC mainly just say "ferry", and others say "ro/pax"......and we all mean the same thing.
