The Aquarama is a ship that fires our imagination it looked amazingly retro yet only served in a short amount of service. And converted it into the Great Lakes ferry equivalent of a cruise ship. I am saddened by the way it has been abandoned and I urge someone to please restore that great piece of Lake.
