The SS St. Marys Challenger was a working lake freighter operating on the North American Great Lakes from 1906 until 2013. As she approached the end of her 107-year-long working career as a self-propelled boat, she was the oldest operating self-propelled lake freighter on the Great Lakes, as well as being one of the last freight-carrying vessels on the Great Lakes to be powered by steam engine.
