High upon a promontory sits the Owners and Captains Quarters of this former Great Lakes freighter. The boat was built by a famous American inventor and manufacturer and named after his grandson many years ago. After fifty years of service on the Great Lakes, ship was scheduled in 1986 to be scrapped at the Port of Cleveland, Ohio. On the top front section of the boat were the walnut paneled staterooms, dining room, galley, and passenger lounge designed by the owner for his own pleasure while traversing the Great Lakes on business. An Ohio husband and wife stepped in, realizing that these elegant quarters would be a magnificent residence, if they could only be removed from the rest of the ship and brought to land. After many days with torches and cranes, the Quarters were removed from the ship and floated to its present location. Additional cranes were needed to lift the Quarters off the barge and up a steep eighteen foot promontory to its final site on solid bedrock on a single family home lot. The Quarters became The Ship Residence, a private home.
