On my most recent trip to Duluth my friend really wanted to go on the tour of this ship. We were there on a pretty hot day and while the gift shop was cooled, the rest of the ship was not, so I would suggest getting something to drink before starting the tour.

Our tour guide was pretty good, she's obviously done it a few times and was good at identifying the rooms / areas that the people didn't have much interest in or were too hot to be in for too long. It was pretty cool to see some of the inner workings of such an old ship.

If you have kids or older people with you, you need to know that there are a LOT of stairs that have low ceilings, VERY steep steps and cramped quarters. There were several children under the age of 12 on the tour we were on and of course, they are kids, but if you have a baby, which a few did, it's going to be tough. I'm 6'5" and I was able to manage, but it was a LOT of ducking.

The tour lasted about an hour and was a fun way to spend an afternoon down in Canal Park. If you are in the area and looking for some history on the Great Lakes shipping boats and all that sort of thing, this will be right up your alley.
