Steamship William G. Mather Museum

Retired Great Lakes bulk freighter now restored as a museum ship.

618 feet long.

Just a massive freighter to explore, right next door to the beautiful East 9th Street pier. Check it out if you're in town!

Awesome self guided tour. Cool to get into many spaces and learn the history

Located on the Waterfront and with the Science Center, this is worth a visit if you're in Cleveland. The Science Center is an interesting place, however not as well set up as the Carnegie System in Pittsburgh. The steamship gives you a look back into history as how ore, coal, and coke were moved through the lakes to the great US Steel producers. It also gives you a sense of the dangers these men faced navigating the Great Lakes and the terrible storms and hazards they faced

Awesome museum! The way they have the tour set up is pretty cool, the arrows you follow takes you through every part of the boat. Also the employees working there are amazing, so friendly and informational.
