Pere Marquette Line Steamers
Take the wheel of Kitzinger’s steamship, the Nevada, with this immersive, interactive experience.
Step up to the wheel and discover the strength it took to guide a Great Lakes steamship. This interactive exhibit lets visitors feel the resistance of the helm as if navigating through powerful winds, offering a hands-on sense of what pilots faced on open water. As you take your turn, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the skill and endurance required to safely steer vessels like the Nevada across Lake Michigan—an essential part of the region’s maritime history.
