Cargo Hold Number 1 - Exhibit Deck

The area that houses the ticket booth, museum store and displays at one time held the iron ore, coal, grain, and stone cargos that the Mather hauled for 55 years. This large, open room is cargo hold #1, the smallest of four holds on the Mather. You can see hold #2 through the windows cut through the wall, or bulkhead, at the aft end of the cargo hold opposite the staircase. The enterance, cement floor and staircase were added in 1990.
