My self guided tour of the Great Lakes freighter the William G. Mather which is now a museum ship in Cleveland, OH. Made in 1925 she is 618 feet long and was retired in 1980. In order to supply the Allied Forces need for steel during World War II, William G. Mather led a convoy of 13 freighters in early 1941 through the ice-choked Upper Great Lakes to Duluth, Minnesota, setting a record for the first arrival in a northern port. This effort was featured in the April 28, 1941 issue of Life. She was one of the first commercial Great Lakes vessels to be equipped with radar in 1946. She was converted from a coal fired quadruple expansion steam engine to a steam turbine in 1954. In 1964 she was one of the first lake freighters to be modifed with bow thrusters and was the very first American vessel to have an automated boiler system, manufactured by Bailey Controls of Cleveland, Ohio.
