Description

The William G. Mather, built and launched in 1925, was the flagship of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company. The ship runs 618 feet long, with a cargo capacity of 14,000 tons. In operation for 55 years, it carried millions of tons of iron ore to the steel mills of Cleveland and myriad other goods across the Great Lakes.At the end of its career, it would be the very last freighter in the Cleveland Cliffs fleet.
The Mather faithfully traversed the Great Lakes until 1980. It opened as a museum in 1990 and is now a popular attraction in the Cleveland area. It is now docked by the Great Lakes Science Center, which acquired the great ship in 2006.
