MANITOWOC, Wis. - Over the weekend, the S.S. Badger's dock in Wisconsin was damaged in storms, but officials say don't worry -- repairs will happen sooner rather than later.
According to a statement from Lake Michigan Car Ferry, the dock sustained damage due to high winds and heavy waves eroding the shore.
Company officials are headed to Manitowoc to assess the damage and meet with city officials to discuss immediate repair work.
The repairs should be completed before the start of the sailing season on May 11, the company statement assured.
The S.S. Badger shuttles people and cars across Lake Michigan from Ludington, Mich. to Manitowoc, Wis. More than 2.5 million passengers have been served since 1953. The S.S. Badger was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior on February 2016.
