Benson Ford

Benson Ford
"Saturday, July 3, 1938. [note: July 3 was a Sunday]
'Benson Ford'
tied to Ford Motor Company
dock River Rouge"

The first of three ships to bear this name. Launched in 1924 or 1925, this and fleetmate Henry Ford II were the first and second large Great Lakes ships powered by diesel powerplants (a Google search shows launch sequence disagreements). Renamed John Dykstra II in 1982 (this seems to have been a name swap), at which time this ship was effectively retired.

The ship was scrapped in 1989, but her pilot house has been converted to a home on Put-In-Bay (South Bass Island), Lake Erie.
