  1. I have one of the lifeboats off this ship that I converted into a cruising boat. She is docked at Silver Bay Marina on the north shore of Lake Superior.

    • I sailed on the Farrell for 1 season in 1972. We spend some time each year on the North Shore, and I would sure like to see what you have done with the life boat.
