Description
This package includes 4 Premium tickets to tour our 1907 Edwardian steamship with tour guides dedicated to delivering a valued experience. Once you have journeyed through time on Keewatin, the last ship of her kind in the world, don your Keewatin hat, complete with collector pin, sit back and relive your experience through the pages of your limited edition album, “Steel & Steam,” while enjoying a sweet treat from your branded confection tin. After your tour, visit our historic 1890’s facility and new Keewatin Interpretation Centre located in the Museum. The Great Lakes Museum is fortunate to be located on an national historic site that forms a considerable part of the Museum’s narrative. It means that the Museum is able to at once share the story of the maritime heritage of Kingston and the Great Lakes, all the while connecting visitors to a physical piece of that history. Established in 1975 by a group of local divers who sought to protect the artefacts of the shipwrecks they explored, the Museum occupied the Kingston Dry Dock property (formerly the location of the Kingston Shipyards Co.) from 1975-2016. The Museum was forced to vacate the property in 2016 when the federally-owned property was sold to a local developer, and moved to its storefront gallery location at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. In August 2019, the Museum purchased the historic property following a gift from a local benefactor, and in October 2021 it moved back home. This set in motion our plans to create a new 21st century Museum a reality. In 2023, another big step forward was the arrival of our museum ship the S.S. Keewatin which opened for tours May 2024. The S.S. Keewatin is the last of the Edwardian steamship passenger liners and an important Canadian cultural artefact that we are proud to keep at our museum. Guests can buy tickets for tours on board the ship between the months of May to November!
