The Queen III, often referred to as the barf barge, is returing to Lake Superior waters. It was making the run between Menominee and Sturgeon Bay in Green Bay, but will be moving to Marquette to do shore cruises next year.

Re: Isle Royale Queen III returns to Lake Superior
Having had the "pleasure" of using the Queen III during the 70's before she was lengthened (in 1989), I can personally attest to the righteousness of her nick name.

Re: Isle Royale Queen III returns to Lake Superior
The Queen II was single-handedly responsible for causing me to treat all water vessels with a great deal of suspicion and trepidation. Canoes. Aircraft carriers turned into museums. You name it.
