Crew mess (captain/guest table was nicer) Crew was able to eat 24/7, whatever they wanted and how much they wanted.
Laundry facilities

Some interesting displays included the lifeboat from the Edmund Fitzgerald which was found 12 miles from where the ship sank with only one lifejacket. There were many tragic shipwrecks in this area but only one was immortalized in a popular song.
The reason the canal was dug through Sault Ste. Marie making part of the town site an island.
It took me a minute, but I figured out the 4 letter message.

My favorite view
