The steamship William G. Mather was built in 1925. It is 618' long and had a cargo capacity of 14,000 tons. It was the last ship running for the Cleveland-Cliffs Steamship Co. when it was retired in 1980. After Cleveland-Cliffs donated it in 1978, it opened in 1990 as a floating museum. [AtlasObscura]
It was built by Great Lakes Engineering Works in River Route, MI. Originally it was 601'-0" x 62'-0" x 27'-7". It was the flagship of Cleveland-Cliffs until 1952, and it was repowered with a steam turbine in 1954. [mhsd]
Andrew Haenisch shared Scott Tish's post of two photos. Scott commented: "In one of the rarest assists you'll ever see in Cleveland, the Ohio keeps the William G Mather pinned to the dock while Great Lakes Group crews work on reattaching it after the high winds tore it loose from the dock and swung it out and pushed it forward 11-2-2020"

The Canadian National Museum of Great Lakes Maritime History and Heritage.: "3 day blow!"
Andrew Whitman: Now we need to worry that the city will start griping about her and calling for her to be scrapped once again.
It is not just a water transportation museum. Check out the wringer washer. Because this ship was the flagship of Cleveland-Cliffs, the ship tour has VIP quarters for special guests of the company as well as regular crew quarters.

While looking for the slip for this ship, I noticed the USS Cod museum. And then I noticed some more museums on the waterfront. So I expanded the satellite list.

The USS Marinette was moving from the shipyard that built it to Florida when it got trapped in Lake Erie by a strike by the 350 lock workers of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

This view also allows us to see a dock crane.
