About Calumet
Calumet was the second lake freighter of that name. The vessel was built in Detroit, Michigan, in 1929, by the Great Lakes Engineering Works. For her first 71 years she was operated by two subsidiaries of US Steel, the Pittsburgh Steamship Company, and the Bradley Transportation Company. She was christened Myron C. Taylor after one of the directors of US Steel, Myron Charles Taylor. She was originally powered by a triple expansion steam engine. During her eighty years in service she was upgraded with a self-unloading boom and conveyor belts, a bow thruster, and her steam engine was replaced with a more powerful diesel. According to George Wharton, of the Boatnerd website, she was the largest vessel in the US Steel's fleets, when built, but by 1981, she had become one of the smallest.
