And what a great tradition it is! Thanks for posting the article, Judy. Brings back wonderful memories of visiting Big Mac back in the days!

Yeah, but Big Mac and Baby Mac are 60+ years apart age wise. A whole new world and way of doing things on WLBB30. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the new Mac, you really need to do so to appreciate how they have made the ship such a multi task capable platform and have made technology a major partner in the effort.

Read about the tradition that started in the 1900's with the Rouse Simmons... Mackinaw prepares to spread Christmas cheer Sailing from Cheboygan on Sunday and headed for Chicago. If you're in the area, the Mackinaw will be open for tours while in Chicago. Judy

Would love to see Baby Mac someday. For now, just seeing the workings of the ship online is incredibly impressive!
