Movie Knight...

JOHN SHERWIN in Chicago

Watching The Dark Knight (one of the best Batman movies), one can spot a docked Great Lakes ship somewhere around 1 hour 42 minutes into the film.

JOHN SHERWIN during her active career.

Although the name of the boat is edited out, apparently the vessel is the long-idle JOHN SHERWIN.

The ship had been briefly towed to Chicago, and appears only during an establishing shot in the movie.

It's possible that the following scene (with the Joker and gangsters) is supposed to be in the ship's cargo hold.








The JOHN SHERWIN has a sistership in active duty... The HON JAMES L. OBERSTAR was converted to a self unloader, and just happened to see a video of her heading out onto the Lakes.

Hon James L Oberstar departed Duluth 11/05/2021
