S.S. William A. Irvin
In the heart of Canal Park, set against the majestic Aerial Lift Bridge, is a Great Lakes vessel you can’t miss – and won’t want to. Despite carrying iron ore and coal for 40 years through treacherous storms, the William A. Irvin remains in mint condition today. Tour the proud former flagship of U.S. Steel’s Great Lakes Fleet or schedule a group visit, get ticketing information and discover its rich history.
