Steamship William G. Mather

Climb aboard and take your pick from three different ways to tour this restored 618-foot historic ship! Explore the 1925-built Mather from stem to stern and see its huge cargo holds, brass and oak pilot house, elegant guest quarters and four-story engine room. See the captain’s quarters, where the crew members slept and the galley where meals were prepared for the crew and guests. Walk the decks overlooking the massive cargo doors, and marvel at the “engineering firsts” that helped the Mather transform Cleveland into a great industrial center. Experience the golden era of steamships on one of the best.
