I am the daughter of Captain Willis C. Michler who was captain of the Mauthe I think in that time period. Could you have known him? Did the passenger quarters have a "sun room" with green tie back drapes!

Thanks Karl for maintaining this site. The ship and I were named after my grandfather J.L. "Pete" Mauthe. I had the privelege of sailing on the J.L. Mauthe as a passenger with my family around 1970. My family stayed in touch with the Captain for many years after that until he passed away. The crew was great, the cruise was great and I got a whole new appreciation for the power of the storms on the Great Lakes and the people who work these ships through them.

Regards,

Pete Mauthe

My grandfather Lawrence Goulette was chief engineer at that time. Do you remember him at all?

I sailed on the J.L. Mauthe as a "deckhand" during the summer of 1953, following my Freshman year at University of Wisconsin, Superior, WI. If I remember correctly, the J.L. Mauthe was a brand new ship and 1953 was its' inaugaral year on the Great Lakes. It was a beautiful ship, everything was sparkling new, and a great privilege to serve her . . . especially for a young college student. Great memories and the ship still looks the same as it did 53 years ago.
