About SS William H. Donner
The William H. Donner was an American Great Lakes freighter that was built in 1914 by the Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ashtabula, Ohio, for service on the Great Lakes. She was used to transport bulk cargoes such as iron ore, coal, grain and occasionally limestone. She operated from 1914 as a bulk carrier to 1970, when she was converted to a floating crane ship with two cranes. In order to facilitate better maintenance, most of the ship's superstructure was eventually removed. It remained in service until 2016, when it was deemed obsolete. In 2020, the hull was sold for scrap. It was towed on December 17 from Marinette Wisconsin, to the Purvis Scrap Yard in Soo, Ontario, Canada above the Soo Locks. The dismantling process most likely began sometime in early 2021, marking the end of the 107 year old vessel.
