SS Columbia is a historic excursion steamship located at 105 Childs Street in Buffalo, New York. Built in 1902, it is the last remaining steamship from the turn of the 20th century, designed by Frank E. Kirby and Louis O. Keil. The vessel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. Currently docked at Silo City in Buffalo, SS Columbia is undergoing restoration work to bring it back to its former glory. During its heyday, SS Columbia sailed down the Detroit River from downtown Detroit to Bois Blanc Island, offering passengers a scenic journey to the Boblo Island Amusement Park. The ship featured a ballroom, music, dancing, and snack bars, becoming an iconic symbol on the Detroit River. In 1945, SS Columbia was the setting for a historic Civil Rights battle when a young African American woman was denied entry due to her race, leading to a legal battle that reached the US Supreme Court.
