Passengers on the Ocean Navigator will enjoy the Houghton Waterfront on Thursday and can explore the city. They will also visit the Quincy Mine, the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and the Carnegie Museum of the Keweenaw.
The ship was constructed in 2001 and then refurbished in 2019. It has 5 decks and can accommodate just over 200 guests. There are 84 crew members that man the ship on its journey on Lake Superior. The ship visits Houghton as part of a Chicago roundtrip.
