Reviews
"This is the musty old Hall in Detroit where they prayed at this Maritime Sailors Cathedral ,the church bell chimed it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald !!! All That Remains are the faces and the names and the wives and the sons and the daughters !! God Bless !!"
"Very epic looking church in the downtown of Detroit, MI. What my American friend told me about it is this church was founded in 1842 and is the 2nd oldest church in Detroit. With this historical statue of George Washington located at the side of the church it looks even more monumental and epic."
"Never visited from the inside but looks great from the outside. I like their tinted glass windows. Only 2-3 Parking spots available due to adjacent tunnel to Canada operations."
"An old standing Detroit monument, Mariners’ Church of Detroit was founded in 1842 by Julia Ann Anderson, at a time when Michigan had only been a state for five years. The church was created as a non-denominational, independent parish with a focus on providing a free place of worship for sailors. Originally at the foot of Woodward Avenue, Mariners’ moved its building to its current location in 1955. The grand memorial for sailors that perished on the Edmund Fitzgerald was held at this church. It sunk with its entire crew of 29 men on Nov 10, 1975 in Lake Superior."
"We were looking for a church that was different from our old one (recently retired). We chose to go to the oldest church in the Detroit area, Mariners’ Church. What a history! I’ve always loved ‘The Wreck of the Edmond Fitz Gerald’ (sp) and this church represents that exact song. Although a very patriarchal church run by all older white gentlemen and full of male portraits in their stained glass windows, the SERMON, on Easter Sunday 2023 was about the first disciple, the first person to lay eyes on the risen Christ, Mary!!!!! God bless them for that!!! Finally someone willing to speak truth to power. Thank you!"
