Thanks for this. It introduced me to a service that I did not know
existed. As to the ship from Wikipedia

The Grand Haven was formerly a Grand Trunk Milwaukee Car Ferry Company
vessel used previously in trans-Lake Michigan service. She was built by
Craig Shipbuilding Company of Toledo, Ohio in 1903[4] and appears, from
photographic evidence, to be the only ferry in Cuban service fitted with
a stern gate, an U.S. Coast Guard requirement for Great Lakes car
ferries. She was retired by the WIF&SS Co. in 1960.[4] (Grand Trunk
Milwaukee was a Grand Trunk Railway subsidiary which itself was a
subsidiary of Canadian National Railway, then a Crown corporation.)
