About SS Columbia
SS Columbia is one of the last remaining excursion steamship from the turn of the 20th century in existence, the other being her running mate and sister ship SS Ste. Claire which was badly damaged in a fire in 2018. Both were designed by Frank E. Kirby and Louis O. Keil, interior designer. Columbia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. As of 2019, the vessel is docked at Silo City in Buffalo, New York while work is being done to rehabilitate it. However as of February 2024 the restoration group's website was offline and archived images showed no updates since 2021. In March 2024 a local news and events site described the vessel as "at risk" and their social media pages were offline.
