Oct 1st- Oct 2nd: William A. Irvin "Haunted Ship" Tours
Time: Fri 6:30 pm-10:30 pm/Sat 5 pm-10:30 pm
Are you ready for a real scare? Here’s the place for it; but we warn you, tour if you dare. Each year, for the month of October the Irvin transforms itself into a haunted ship, where the ghosts come alive. Your worst nightmares will come to life and it will seem like they will never end. During the self guided tour, you’ll see how the once historic ore ship has been flipped inside out to reveal its true identity. The haunting of the Irvin is not just a rumor, mysterious sightings have been recorded. Don’t be too sure the flickering lights and slamming doors are part of the act, our ghosts may appear at any time. Walking through the dark, eerie hallways you’ll get the feeling that you’re never alone, because you won’t be. In this ship, no place is safe. Starting in the engine room you will travel through the ship until you land in your final destination which is below the freezing waters of Lake Superior in the maze of terror. If you thought the rest of the ship was terrifying, just wait until you step down into the maze. While down in the pitch dark “dungeon” of the ship, not knowing where you’re going is the least of your worries. Watch your back; you never know who’ll be hovering over your shoulder. If you think you’re brave enough to face your fears, come to the Haunted Ship. But remember only the tough ones make it through, alive. Adults & Children 13 & Up – $8.00/ Children 12 & Under – $6.00
Bring a canned good to receive $.50 cents off your admission. No child under the age of 12 will be admitted without a parent. Parental guidance is suggested. Not handicapped accessible. CASH OR CHECK ONLY- WE DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS! Tickets are available in October aboard the SS William A. Irvin.

Oct 20th- Oct 23rd: William A. Irvin "Haunted Ship" Tours
Time: Wed-Thurs 6:30 pm-10 pm/Fri 6:30 pm-10:30 pm/Sat 3 pm-11:00 pm
Are you ready for a real scare? Here’s the place for it; but we warn you, tour if you dare. Each year, for the month of October the Irvin transforms itself into a haunted ship, where the ghosts come alive. Your worst nightmares will come to life and it will seem like they will never end. During the self guided tour, you’ll see how the once historic ore ship has been flipped inside out to reveal its true identity. The haunting of the Irvin is not just a rumor, mysterious sightings have been recorded. Don’t be too sure the flickering lights and slamming doors are part of the act, our ghosts may appear at any time. Walking through the dark, eerie hallways you’ll get the feeling that you’re never alone, because you won’t be. In this ship, no place is safe. Starting in the engine room you will travel through the ship until you land in your final destination which is below the freezing waters of Lake Superior in the maze of terror. If you thought the rest of the ship was terrifying, just wait until you step down into the maze. While down in the pitch dark “dungeon” of the ship, not knowing where you’re going is the least of your worries. Watch your back; you never know who’ll be hovering over your shoulder. If you think you’re brave enough to face your fears, come to the Haunted Ship. But remember only the tough ones make it through, alive. Adults & Children 13 & Up – $8.00/ Children 12 & Under – $6.00 Bring a canned good to receive $.50 cents off your admission. No child under the age of 12 will be admitted without a parent. Parental guidance is suggested. Not handicapped accessible. CASH OR CHECK ONLY- WE DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS! Tickets are available in October aboard the SS William A. Irvin.
