Tour the last whaleback ship in the world! The SS Meteor is the last remaining of these innovative ships (called whalebacks for their rounded hulls). Launched from Superior in 1896, she carried a variety of cargoes on the Great Lakes, including iron ore, grain, cars, and oil, for almost one hundred years. Hear the ship’s whistle and see the original steam engine as you tour from pilot house to cargo holds.
