- Q7393949 abstract "Template:ForSS Lansdowne was a railroad car ferry built in 1884 by the Wyandotte Shipyard of the Detroit Dry Dock Company. It was used from 1884 until 1956 between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, across the Detroit River, although there are reports of its sporadic use until the early 1970s. At the time of its construction it was the longest ship on the Great Lakes at 312 feet (95 m). It was a sidewheeler paddle boat, and at the time of its retirement it was the last sidewheeler serving on the Great Lakes. Lansdowne was captained by Nick Saad from 1942 to 1969 until his retirement, when he was relieved by his son James Saad-Miller. Capt. Jim Miller was last to man her under her own power, when she blew a port engine coming out of Detroit Slip on midnight watch in 1970. The engines at the time were from another even older paddle wheeler, Michigan, built in 1878.In 1981 Lansdowne was converted by Specialty Restaurants Corporation of Anaheim, California, to a floating restaurant and was moored just east of Hart Plaza in Downtown Detroit. A pair of Milwaukee Road "Skytop Lounge" railcars were brought onto part of its deck while the remainder was occupied by additional restaurant structure including a below-deck banquet hall. Patrons had a front-row view of the Detroit street circuit that hosted the Formula One United States Grand Prix East. The restaurant in Detroit shut down in the late 1980s or early 1990s.In 1999 Lansdowne was towed to Erie, Pennsylvania, where much of its superstructure was removed and the Skytop Lounge cars were stripped to bare shells with the intent of making it a riverfront restaurant in Erie. It sank at its moorings on 25 December 2005 and the City of Erie issued an order that it be removed by 1 March.On 16 July 2006 it was removed from Erie and towed to an industrial part of the Buffalo River in Buffalo, New York. On 30 January 2008 it again took on water during a storm at its moorings in Buffalo and began to list. Specialty Restaurants' owner died in 2008 and whatever remaining initiative there was to restore Lansdowne died along with him. With pressure from Buffalo politicians to remove the "eyesore" from its shores, the Skytop Lounge cars were cut off their trucks and shipped to a railroad museum in Montevideo, Minnesota, and the rest of the vessel was broken up for salvage in April 2009.".
