Nine lifeboats from the S.S. Keewatin are now on display at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. The steamship is expected to arrive at the museum this fall.
The last Titanic-era steamship, the S.S. Keewatin, is expected to arrive at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes dry dock this fall.
Preparations for the ship’s arrival are underway and some of the Keewatin’s accessories have already arrived.
Nine lifeboats currently sit outside the museum along Kingston’s downtown waterfront.
“This is a harbinger of more to come, namely the great big ship that they belong to, the S.S. Keewatin,” said Chris West the Marine Museum’s board chair.
While the 350-foot ship is expected to arrive this fall, it will still be some time before the public will be able to board and tour it.
“The staging of the ship is a huge job, just getting her ready as a museum piece,” said West.
West anticipates the ship should be ready by the spring of 2024 in time for the upcoming tourist season.
