I recently visited Ashtabula, OH, harbor, and took this photo (yes I have mad photography skills 
). The ship is the Tecumseh, but then I saw this page saying the ship is not in Ashtabula. So, same ship? It looks the same…https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecumseh_(lake_freighter)
Ship names change frequently along with changes of ownership

Passed one awhile back that was named the “POS ISLAND.”
Back when Sulphur Carriers had the old UOS tug and barge fleet we’d laugh because the botched paint job on the Coastal 101 looked more like “Coastal LOL.”
Ship names can be fun.

As I recall, thats ship was built by Lockheed around 1972 as HAS bulker Sugar Islander, then Islander, after that Judy Latrico, then Tina Latrico then (finally) Tecumseh under the Canadian flag.
Last I knew she had a fire around 2019 and probably will go for razor blades.
