JUNE 14
Step inside one of Put-in-Bay’s most unique landmarks—the Benson Ford Shiphouse! Originally a Great Lakes freighter named after Henry Ford’s grandson, Benson Ford, this massive vessel was turned into a stunning four-story floating home on South Bass Island. From the walnut-paneled staterooms to the pilot house, every corner tells a story of maritime history and creative vision.
On this tour, you’ll hear the fascinating stories behind the Shiphouse’s transformation, from freighter to luxury home, while seeing its historic features up close. The Shiphouse offers incredible views of Lake Erie and the island from every deck and room, making it not just a tour of history, but a feast for the eyes. Don’t forget your camera!
Accessible via the Jet Express from Port Clinton or Sandusky.
