Make history as a couple by revisiting some aquatic history when you both pay a visit to the SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker museum ship in Toledo. This vessel has been a vital part of Toledo's skyline as it is moored near the city's International Park.

Boyer Museum Ship. Its maritime heritage awaits you when you step on board and experience this symbol of a bygone era.
