Centennial: Steaming through the American Century

Photographs of the S.S. St. Marys Challenger by Christopher Winters

Discovery World staff photographer, Chris Winters, spent five years creating a vivid record of life aboard S.S. St. Mary’s Challenger as she approached the centennial anniversary of her maiden voyage in 2006. A frequent visitor to Milwaukee’s harbor and reportedly the oldest operational freight ship in the world, the Challenger began her remarkable fresh water career on the Great Lakes on April 28, 1906—six years before the launch of the R.M.S. Titanic. Granted unprecedented access to the vessel by her owners, Winters set off on a personal quest to record an old way of life in a new way by focusing revolutionary digital cameras on this revolutionary machine from another century.  The photographer and curators at Discovery World have selected a cross-section of definitive images from the Centennial project and its accompanying hardcover book for this show of large-format gallery prints.

Chris Winters is a Milwaukee-based photojournalist specializing in Great Lakes maritime subjects. Smitten with the lore of lake boats and the mythology surrounding the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Winters is a veteran wreck diver, dynamic lecturer on Great Lakes shipwreck history, and a frequent contributor to Great Lakes Seaway Review magazine. His documentary artwork and photography have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the region.
