I went out the back door of the (most excellent) Escanaba Public Library yesterday and came upon the Cason J Callaway. Although I keep a casual eye on ships which pass our home in the U.P., I had never heard of the Cason J Callaway and took to RUclips to learn about it. Thanks for posting this extremely informative video, Chad!
Sad to see the old classics fade away, especially the AAA class. We are in Pt Colborne monthly and I will absolutely hate to see this boat meet her demise there. Tecumseh was dragged into the breaking slip there today. 😞
I would love to poke around in some of these older ships. See all the equipment and so forth. Would be really neat to take a trip on one to see how they operate.

Absolutely is...
I'm an old guy. Old enough to remember the Calloway being a frequent visitor to Manistee.
Liked the shipwreck history!

Same here man!
Long term storage does sound like a nice term for scrapped.
She seems fine for now, the Blough is toast. When they were towing her, all of her navigational equipment and her horns were removed.
She’s a steam ship , not an MV. Nice video
Good correction, I didn't think to use S.S. Thanks for pointing that out!
