SS ''Valley Camp'' is a lake freighter that served on the Great Lakes for almost 50 years and is now a museum ship in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. == History == ''Valley Camp'' was launched in Lorain, Ohio, in 1917 as the ''Louis W. Hill'' for the National Steel Corporation. She sailed for this company for 38 years hauling iron ore and coal until 1955 when she was sold to the Wilson Marine Transit Company. It was in this fleet that she received her current name. For this company she carried a wider array of bulk goods including grains and stone. ''Valley Camp'' was a member of the Wilson Fleet only until 1959 when the Republic Steel Corporation bought her and several of her Wilson fleetmates, including her identical sister ''Silver Bay'' (formerly ''Albert Heiken'' of National Steel). Republic kept ''Valley Camp''s name, and for that company she hauled iron ore and coal to their mills in Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; and Indiana Harbor, Indiana. In 1967, ''Valley Camp'' sailed her last. Her age was not an issue at this time, it was her triple expansion engine that was still being fed by coal-burning boilers that doomed her to an early retirement. Purchased by Le Sault de Sainte Marie Historical Sites, Inc., for $10,000, the ship was towed from Wisconsin to Sault Ste. Marie on July 6, 1968, during Sault Ste. Marie's tri-centennial celebration. As a museum ship, ''Valley Camp'' is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have the opportunity to explore and look in every nook and cranny of the ship. In addition, the cargo hold houses hundreds of artifacts, paintings, shipwreck items, models, two lifeboats from the wreck of the , and exhibits of objects related to maritime history. ''Valley Camp'' is well kept and has brought in many tourists to Sault Sainte Marie.
