"World’s Largest Whaleback
Tour the world's last whaleback! The SS Meteor museum is the last remaining of these innovative ships designed by Captain Alexander Mc Dougall. Launched from Superior in 1896, she carried a variety of cargo on the Great Lakes, including iron ore, cars and oil. Hear the ship's whistle and see the original 1896 steam engine as you tour from pilot house to cargo holds. Visit their website for more information."
