Many unique types such as auto carriers, package freighters and overnight passenger ships have disappeared from the lakes. In the last decade the number of tankers has declined and replaced with tugftarge combinations. This photo of the tanker Amoco Wisconsin in Indiana Harbor was taken by Ruth Lee in June, 1980. Telescope is produced with assistance from the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, an agency of the Historical Department of the City of Detroit.
