The Great Lakes self-unloading bulk carrier Charles M. Beeghly is to be renamed Oberstar this year to honour US Rep James Oberstar, who lost his bid for a 19th consecutive term in the US House of Representatives last year, but made a long-time commitment to shipping while serving as chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Built in 1959, the 710ft by 75ft Beeghly was originally named Shenango II, after the Shenango Furnace Co of Cleveland, Ohio, but was renamed Charles M. Beeghly by Interlake in 1967. At that time Charles M. Beeghly was president of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.
