Photo Fun - View From a Ship

Grady Sizemore taking a selfie. Ahem.

I love when I find something new in Cleveland. Especially when that something new helps me love my city all the more.

I'm going to say I am like most Clevelanders and I tend to take my surroundings for granted. That is what I have done for years with the William G. Mather Steamship museum that is a part of the Great Lakes Science Center. Each time I saw what I called the 'Cliffs Ship" I was completely clueless what it was.

*hangs my head in shame*

View from the William G. Mather Steamship.

You can explore this steamship built in 1925, from the crews quarters and cargo holds to the deck with amazing views like the one above.

The tour was completely worth it for 8 bucks, if just for the views. I didn't spend a lot of time going through the exhibit, because really, I just wanted to get on the deck.

View from the other end of the ship facing the great Lake Erie.

I forget how beautiful Lake Erie can be.

This was a great reminder.
