S.S. William A. Irvin

S.S. William A. IrvinWilliam A Irvin

For more than 40 years the S.S. William A. Irvin carried iron ore and coal to Great Lakes ports, often crashing through ferocious storms to reach her destinations.  Yet, the enormous vessel represents much more than impressive power.

As the proud flagship of U.S. Steel's Great Lakes Fleet, she provided comfort and elegance to dignitaries and guests who traveled the Lakes with her.

This rare combination of maritime force and grace has been experienced by very few.  Now, you can experience life on the lakes by touring the S.S. William A. Irvin, and the Coast Guard Cutter, Sundew.

So c'mon aboard!   Whether you're interested in a 2,000 horsepower steam turbine engine or delicate antique fixtures, you'll find them both in shipshape!
