★ What stands out · The building’s story
On the National Register since 2018
METEOR (whaleback carrier) (Boundary Decrease)
METEOR (whaleback carrier) (Boundary Decrease) was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Apr 26, 2018. It is significant for its industry, commerce, transportation and invention at the national level.
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 modifications, sailed until 1969. She is now a museum ship in the city of her construction.
