bigships.net - Earl Minnis Photo: It’s the last light of day at 2054 hours as the St. Marys Challenger, downbound on Lake Huron at Point Edward, heads into the turn at lights 1 and 2 for the St. Clair River. The Challenger is making a rather rare appearance to the area with a load of cement for Lafarge in Detroit. At 107 years of age, she is currently holding the honors of being the oldest lake boat still trading on the Great Lakes.
