Admiral Rodman aka Regina

Belongs to the Culver Military Academy. It was placed into service in 1935 as 'Regina' and was renamed the 'Admiral Rodman' in 1936.

In 1935 the Regina joined the fleet and immediately caught the attention of sailors, yachtsmen, and people wandering along the shoreline. It was nearly fifty-six feet long, had a nineteen foot beam, was diesel powered, and, at twenty-two gross tons, was the largest vessel on Lake Maxinkuckee. It had bunks and a mess. It was in service until the late 1950's.
