Misener Steamship Co. fleet

The Misener Steamship Co., known for its fleet of bulk carriers, added the ARLINGTON to its operations during the height of the Great Depression. Despite economic challenges, the ARLINGTON played an important role in sustaining trade between Great Lakes ports. Misener leveraged the vessel’s capacity to transport grain and other bulk goods, ensuring continuity of commerce during a time of significant hardship. This period underscored the vessel’s durability and economic importance. The ARLINGTON proved its worth as a steadfast member of the Misener fleet, maintaining steady service even as the industry faced declining demand and financial strain.
