Take an hour long guided tour or stay overnight on this amazing example of a classic Great Lakes railroad carferry. 87 years old, 360ft long and able to carry at least 28 full size rail cars. Built in 1931 and all in her original condition. A must see if your in the area! Also tour the USCGC Acacia!
We went for the haunted ghost ship
It was the kids first time to a haunted house and they had alot of fun.
Well done !!!
It was great
Got me a few times 😦😲
Black wall made was great never have I ran into so many walls !!
Eye ball room was off the hook
Very cool place. All I can say is that you should give this ship consideration when looking for lodging. Yes the rooms are small, and you don't have your own bathroom, no cable television, air conditioning, or any amenities you would find even in a cheap motel, but the experience of staying the night on an historic ship is pretty frickin awesome. I feel as tho I'm 10 years old again. Staff are great, and knowledge, Continental breakfast is good. The only thing I didn't like was The stairs, but if someone in your party isn't stair friendly, they do have those stair lifters that you see on t.v plus a ramp, so no worries.
Josh was excellent showing us around the last and original box card ship. Wow the pictures I got are amazing. I am thankful I got a chance to tour this ship.
Only remaining great lakes ferry that's all original. Great tour with Josh. You can stay overnight in the rooms if you want, and they provide a continental breakfast. The retired Coast guard ship, the Acadia is harbored right next to the S. S. City of Milwaukee, so you can see 2 boats at that location. It's $10 admission per adult, $7 seniors. There's a campground with docks for those who want to take their boats onto Lake Michigan from the channel there at Manistee.
I have always wanted to visit the ship and was pleased with the tour. I would go again and take my visitors.
Huge menu, lots of choices, our selections were fantastic, would return any time.
my grandma lives right next to it in the condo development on Arthur St. and whenever i visit her, i can see it from her balcony, even though i have never been inside it, i see it almost every year
If I had to describe it in one word it would be:
Marvelous
Hi I'm Honest Reviews4U and my goal is to tell the honest truth about things.
This is so incredible I can't even make an organized list!
Just thinking about the history and what it takes to take care of and clean this is amazing! And the fact that your can spend the night on it!! And During October it is a "Haunted Ship" which I LOVE TO BE A PART OF!! I will take every chance I get to go on this ship!! If you get the opportunity to go on this ship, PLEASE TAKE IT and tell them I sent you!!
I'm looking forward to October already!!
I booked lodging on the SS City of Milwaukee as a surprise gift for my husband and for a good friend visiting from Germany. Saying that they were delighted doesn't begin to describe! We had the privilege of exploring the vessel during our stay, and the high point was a tour guided by Duane, who shared dozens of details and amazing facts about every part of the ship and its history at sea. It is a must see!
