By May 8, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum had a collection of more than 150 Great Lakes shipping models.

Maritime in Miniature: The Art of Ship Modeling explores the history of the Great Lakes shipping industry, from small schooners to famous ships such as the Edmund Fitzgerald. The museum says one of its best models is the "oversized City of Detroit III, interior cutaway, the oldest model in the Society's collection, the Mayflower," which was built in 1853, a year after the actual ship was launched.

The Dossin Great Lakes Museum, located on Belle Isle, houses a collection of approximately 250,000 historical artifacts.
