Update on the SOUTHDOWN CHALLENGER. She's still operating...comes into Suttons Bay to hold up in bad weather...saw her there this fall. 2006 will be her 100th season.
"In the spring of 2005, the Great Lakes region operations of Cemex were acquired by Votorantim Cimentos, Sao Paulo, Brazil for $389 million (US). Included with this acquisition were 2 cement plants, 8 related distribution terminals, the Southdown Challenger, and the Cemex Conquest; all becoming part of Votorantim Cimentos' North American subsidiary St. Marys Cement Inc., Toronto, ON. The classic steamer is formally owned by St. Marys Cement's U.S. affiliate St. Marys Cement Inc. (US), Detroit, MI. On April 28th, 2005; the name and registration of the Southdown Challenger was changed to St. Marys Challenger with the new name being painted on her hull before returning to service from her winter lay-up in June."
