SS Meteor

Superior, United States of America

SS Meteor

SS Meteor is the sole surviving ship of the unconventional "whaleback" design. The design, created by Scottish captain Alexander McDougall, enabled her to carry a maximum amount of cargo with a minimum of draft. Meteor was built in 1896 in Superior, Wisconsin, United States, and, with a number of mo

difications, sailed until 1969. She is now a museum ship in the city of her construction.
