S.S. SPARTAN

One postcard entitled "S.S. SPARTAN". The postcard shows a color image of the vessel S.S. SPARTAN operating through the water. A caption on the verso reads:

The S.S. SPARTAN and its sister ship, the S.S. BADGER, are the new twin queens of the Great Lakes. They are the largest and finest ships of their type in the world. Pacing Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's year-'round Lake Michigan fleet of seven vessels, the train ferrying steamers provide frequent service for passengers, autos and freight between Ludington, Mich. and the Wisconsin ports of Milwaukee, Manitowoc and Kewaunee.
