September 21, 2005House votes to hand over the Mackinaw to CheboyganFROM STAFF REPORTSCHEBOYGAN - Proceedings necessary for Cheboygan city and county to take over ownership of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw have started. The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously voted last week to approve the Coast Guard authorization bill, which includes a provision to convey the ship to local governments for use as a maritime museum. The U.S. Senate is expected to consider the bill within the next two months. The Mackinaw is scheduled to be decommissioned next year after more than six decades of service in the Great Lakes. It has always been stationed in Cheboygan.
