The one year I worked full season on the Steamer Cason J. Callaway we'd picked enough ice from spray to give us a four degree list to starboard after crossing L. Superior and reaching Whitefish Bay. We put bigger nozzles in the furnaces to handle the fuel needed to heat water flowing through the fire suppression sytem at 120 psi from the lake to the deck crew hosing the ice off the hull and superstructure on the bow end, the stern being ice free.

Oh my, what an experience, Richard. Thankful you're still here to tell about it, and the Cason Callaway is still sailing the 'high seas'!
