This 16,000-square-foot museum is a good place to learn about the history of the Great Lakes. Signature exhibits include the Gothic Room (a ship’s gentlemen’s lounge replica), Built By the River (covering how the waters around Detroit have contributed to its culture and economy), Miss Pepsi (a vintage hydroplane), the William Clay Ford Pilot House, and the outdoor collection of maritime artifacts like a submarine anchor and naval cannons.
