Ste. Claire, Historic steam ship in Detroit, United States
The SS Ste. Claire measures 190 feet in length with a steel hull, wooden superstructure, and triple expansion reciprocating steam engine with Scotch boilers.
From 1910 to 1991, the Ste. Claire served as a passenger ferry between Detroit and Boblo Island, transporting visitors to the amusement park for entertainment.
The vessel earned recognition as a National Historic Landmark in 1992, marking its contribution to Great Lakes maritime transportation and Detroit's recreational heritage.
The steel structure remains at Riverside Marina in Detroit following a 2018 fire that destroyed the upper decks and original mahogany woodwork.
The Ste. Claire appeared in the motion picture Transformers: Age of Extinction, with temporary modifications made to accommodate the film production requirements.
