Clue:

Next Clue:

The ... was built in 1902 as a wooden sailing trawler, she fished the north sea until she was completely rebuilt in steel and mototized in 1957. She fished until 1981 when she was decommisioned and sold for scrap, fortunately this was not to be her final destination, various owners took up the challenge but had to sell when money got short. Andre Hanzens bought her in 1992 and worked on the renovation of the ship until she was ready for her new life in 1998. She is now perfectly suited for her new lease of life and has proven her qualities in any weather!

What ship has the most powerful engines and the longest self-unloading boom on the Great Lakes?

And sorry for all the Great Lakes shipping questions, its all I know.
