Interesting  4 Star Rating - Very good

The Mather Museum is unlike any other I've been to because unlike most, it isn't housed in a building - rather, it floats on water! It's a huge steamship that was fully operated to supply coal and ore to steelyards, now restored and retouched for the public to see the insides of. It's humungous; the anchor alone is gigantic and incredible. You can really appreciate the work the builders did when making it, it did when it operated, and the workers on the boat did to maintain and steer it. There are tour guides and narrarators to guide you through it and lay out fascinating details. It was interesting for me; might be boring for a young kid who likes more hands-on exhibits. I don't know if repeated visits would be worth it, but a one-time experience was good.
