S.S. Badger Model Kit
Description
Bring home a piece of maritime history with this detailed paper model kit of the S.S. Badger—the last coal-fired passenger steamship operating on the Great Lakes. Created by Lake Freighter Minis, this precision-cut kit lets you recreate the iconic ferry in stunning miniature form, complete with authentic design details and easy-to-follow instructions.
Perfect for hobbyists, educators, or anyone fascinated by Great Lakes lore, this model is both a hands-on project and a conversation piece. No glue or scissors required—just pop out the pieces and start assembling.
Launched in 1952, the S.S. Badger has ferried passengers and vehicles across Lake Michigan between Ludington, Michigan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin for over 70 years. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016, the Badger is a beloved symbol of Midwest travel and engineering heritage—and the only remaining ship of its kind still in active service.
