Before becoming interested in sailing the Great Lakes steam ships, Captain Richard Metz enjoyed 25 years of scuba diving in the Great Lakes. His interest in freighters came about after one of his dives led him and a buddy to explore a sunken freighter. From that point on, Captain Metz decided sailing the mighty steam ships would be his career. During his 33 years of sailing, Captain Metz made hundreds of trips across all five Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. His hobbies include travel to Europe and South America, flying his own Cessna, and enjoying time at his cabin on Lake Superior.
