It shows the ALABAMA'S fleet sisters SOUTH AMERICAN and NORTH AMERICAN in winter quarters to her left. Prominent on the SOUTH'S stack is ALABAMA'S whistle. Now, after a long and proud career, ALABAMA is to join her Goodrich sisters VIRGINIA and ARIZONIA, and many others in the scrapbook of Lake Michigan memories. Her whistle will remain, however, for years to come, to remind us of the great ships that were.
