Bulk Carrier- "American Victory," Wisconsin, Superior

            The American Victory, built in 1942, was for many years one of the oldest commercial boats operating on the Great Lakes. Over the years, the ship changed name a number of times. During World War II the ship served in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as a tanker. It shot down an enemy aircraft and was also hit by a Japanese bomber.  In 1958, she was in a collision with another tanker and lost some crew members.  Following the accident the ship was repaired, and converted to a bulk carrier to transport taconite, coal, limestone and grain on the Great Lakes.  In 2006, the ship then named the Middletown, was sold to American Steamship and became the American Victory.   The American Victory has been on log term layup in Superior, Wisconsin since 2008.
