DOWNTOWN. This former flagship of the Cleveland Cliffs Steamship Company is moored on Lake Erie along Voinovich Park. For 55 years, the 618-foot ship hauled millions of tons of iron, ore, grain, stone, and coal. Today, you can tour the crew's quarters, pilot's house engine room, and ship's cargo hold (now an interactive museum). Take time to observe the elegant dining area and the staterooms that housed the ship's owners and wealthy passengers.
