Ship's Keeper

What is a Ship's Keeper?
 

When a ship is in port, this individual is available for a dockside tour of Friends Good Will. This individual will know the history of the birth of Friends Good Will and that part of story surrounding its presence in the War of 1812. This person will also be familiar with the "stations" on the ship.

Those interested in becoming a ship's keeper will be tutored either by the docent coordinatory, Mary Stevens, and/or those currenly ship keepers.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of the War of 1812 and the significance of Friends Good Will in Commodore Oliver Perry's victory on Lake Erie, please contact Mary Stevens at:(800) 747-3810 or tours@michiganmaritimemuseum.org.
