Synopsis by Farida Ezzat

The documentary highlights the near-mythical story of the steamship Ste. Claire. For 85 years, the steamship ferried from Detroit to the beloved amusement park Boblo Island. One day, the ship’s survival is threatened, and a dedicated crew commits to saving it from the scrapyard. What follows is a deep dive into the history and cultural significance of amusement parks. Directed by Aaron Schillinger. Narrated by Martha Reeves.
