The SS Meteor is the last remaining of these innovative ships(called whalebacks for their rounded hulls) designed by Captain Alexander McDougall. Launched from Superior
in 1896, she carried a variety of cargos on the Great Lakes, including iron ore, grain, cars, and oil. In 1972
she was brought home to Superior and is now permanently berthed on Barkers Island. Hear the ship's whistle
and see the original 1896 steam engine as you tour from pilot house to cargo holds.
The Museum also features exhibits on Twin Ports shipbuilding history and Great Lakes shipwrecks.
