William G. Mather Museum

Description

The Williams G. Mather is an authentic 1925 vintage Great Lakes bulk freighter, a reminder of the golden years of Great Lakes shipping. She was built in Detroit to be the flagship of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company (now Cleveland Cliffs, Inc.). The ship, named for the company's owner, was state-of-the-art at the time and noted for its elegant accommodations and power.
