To Michigan-Ohio Navigation Company.

The Aquarama (12,773 grt, 523 ft. long) was built in 1945 as the C4 cargo vessel Marine Star for the U.S. Maritime Commission.
She was completely rebuilt as a ferry in the 1950s, sailing between Detroit and Cleveland from 1957.
She was taken out of service in September 1962 and laid-up, finally at Buffalo under her former name Marine Star.
(See Karl R. Josker's photo gallery for views of her in 2004.) Eventually, she was towed to Turkey and scrapped in 2007.

From a c. 1957 Michigan-Ohio Navigation Company brochure promoting the Aquarama (see below).
