''Col. James M. Schoonmaker'' is a lake freighter that served as a commercial vessel on the Great Lakes for much of the 20th Century. It is currently a museum ship in Toledo, Ohio. ==History==
The steamship ''Col. James M. Schoonmaker'' began life on 1 July 1911 at the Great Lakes Engineering Works in Ecorse, Michigan. At the time of her launch she took the title of Queen of the Lakes which is given to the biggest ship on the Great Lakes. She became the flagship of the Shenango Furnace Company. She broke many cargo records for iron ore, grain and coal in her first year. She was powered by a triple expansion steam engine which was replaced by a steam turbine in 1955. She sailed as part of the Shenango fleet until 1969 when she was sold to the Interlake Steamship Co who chartered ''Col James M. Schoonmaker'' to the Republic Steel Corporation. After a three year charter to that company Interlake decided to sell her to the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co, who renamed the ship the ''Willis B Boyer'' after the company's president. They operated the laker for 7 years in the iron trade until she was laid up in 1980 due to a downturn in the steel industry. After sitting unwanted for 7 years, the city of Toledo decided to purchase her for use as a museum. She sat as the centerpiece of the International Park in that city for several years before being rechristened back to her original name ''Col. James M. Schoonmaker'' and being moved one last time to the site of the National Museum of the Great Lakes on the banks of the Maumee River in Toledo.
