Photo Gallery

The Shipbuilders

"Only their monuments - the ships and the memories of the ships - remain." - Richard J. Wright, Ph.D.

Due to the growth of this section of the Mather web pages I have broken the original photo gallery into several different collections. I hope that this makes visiting the galley a more enjoyable experience for the visitor. Please feel free to share your suggestions with the author.

William G Mather Collection

Photos of the Steamship William G Mather from her launching to the present day including many of her from her days as a "working vessel".

Cleveland-Cliffs Steamship Company Fleet

Photos of vessels that were once part of the Cleveland Cliffs Steamship Company Fleet.

Gerber Collection

Photos of and aboard ships taken by Ken Gerber, past (and future?) Great Lakes sailor and Mather volunteer. Includes photos taken aboard the J.L. Mauthe, Kay E Barker, George M Humphrey, and some wonderful photos of other vessels.

Lay-Up Toledo 1997

Great Lakes vessels since 1990.

For more "Laker" photos, check out the photo galleries that are part of the MOST comprehensive Great Lakes shipping web site: Great Lakes and Seaway Shipping.

Thanks!
