The Edward L. Ryerson has been my favorite ship since I was a child. It has been the subject of more of my drawings and models than all other freighters combined. On this web site alone you can find digital illustrations of the Ryerson, photos of a model that I built, and even a Ryerson-inspired boat in my lock animation. It all started when I saw her in person at the Soo Locks, around 1974.
