Island, Mich., replacing Beaver Island which traversed that same route for 34 years. Powered by two Caterpillar 3512 engines, each producing 1,500 hp,

Emerald Isle is scheduled to travel at 14 knots. Maneuvering will be enhanced by a 200-hp American

Trac series bowthruster, which is directly driven by a Caterpillar 3116 engine. Capable of carrying 300 passengers and 20 vehicles,

Emerald Isle will afford its cus- tomers easy access by means of a hydraulically operated stern ramp and 11-in. sideports equipped with roll-up doors. Emerald Isle will meet U.S. Coast Guard K rules for

Great Lakes winter service and will be extremely heavily plated to with- stand the rigors of Lake Michigan.

Designed by Timothy Graul Marine

Design of Sturgeon Bay, Wis., the vessel will be launched in May 1997 and delivered to Washburn &

Doughty in August 1997.
