The Mather, built by Great Lakes Engineering Works in Ecorse, Michigan, and launched in 1925, was the flagship of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company. The freighter turned museum is now permanently moored at North Coast Harbor and offers guests a chance to see what life was like on board a working Great Lakes freighter.
“They would take something like coal or grain from the Cleveland area up to Duluth Minnesota, or Superior Wisconsin and pick up Iron Ore for the Steel Mills,” Pallotta said. One of the earliest ships in the region to be outfitted with radar, the Mather faithfully traversed the Great Lakes until 1980 when she retired. Cleveland-Cliffs it to the Great Lakes Historical Society where it underwent a full restoration.
