The M/V American Courage was built in 1979 by Bay Shipbuilding Corporation, Sturgeon Bay, WI.
The vessel made its maiden voyage in ballast from Sturgeon Bay, WI to Escanaba, MI to load iron ore pellets in May of 1979.
It is powered by two 3500 HP General Motors Electro Motive Division (EMD) diesel engines. The vessel uses a conveyor system below its cargo holds to transport cargo to an inclined conveyor system that elevates the cargo to the deck-mounted boom conveyor.
For maneuvering in port the vessel is equipped with 1,000 HP bow and 600 HP stern thrusters.
It serves in the transportation of iron ore pellets, coal and limestone.
