The Str. Col. James M. Schoonmaker of the Shenango Furnace fleet loads ore in Duluth in 1959. She survives as a museum ship on the Maumee River in Toledo, OH.

Her stack recently in Toledo. A complete paint job donated by PPG.

When I looked at a satellite image, I could not find the ship.

But a Mar 2021 image has it in the dock. The paint job was part of a restoration effort. They must have towed it to a drydock for the restoration.

In addition to the freighter, the museum also has a tug.

"The Col. James M. Schoonmaker was built at the Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ecorse, Michigan. She was christened by Gretchen Schoonmaker daughter of the ship’s namesake and launched on July 1, 1911. The Schoonmaker was unsurpassed in both size and elegance.  On her maiden trip, she carried 12,650 net tons of coal from Toledo, Ohio to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The ship held the title of 'Queen of the Lakes' as the largest ship operating on the Great Lakes until April 14, 1914."

Col. James M. Schoonmaker, Duluth, July 1964. Built in 1911, she is currently a nice museum in Toledo. Another great John Ingles image from my collection.
Dennis DeBruler: I presume the grain elevators in the background are on Rice's Point. I know those elevators have changed so much that I'm not even going to attempt to identify them.
Kent Rengo: Dennis DeBruler correct Rices Point.
