While in Sault Ste. Marie, we toured a museum inside a retired Great Lakes freighter, the Valley Camp. It was really interesting to see the cargo holds, engine room, pilot house, and especially the rooms where the crew slept and ate.
When buying tickets for the Valley Camp, we went ahead and bought tickets for the nearby “Tower of History” since it did not cost much more for the extra tour. I had not planned to go to the Tower since I had read there was not much “history” in the museum portion. I am really glad we did though because the views from the three viewing platforms were great.
We could see down one side to the area our RV was parked.
On the other side we could see ships out in Lake Superior approaching the locks. In between were the locks, the St Mary’s River, the city of Sault Ste, Marie, Michigan and across the way a portion of Sault Ste. Marie, Canada.
