The massive ship is over 330 feet long and weighs close to 3,000 tonnes, and was in service from 1908 to 1965, transporting cargo before primarily being used as a tourist vessel.

Director and Chair of the Museum, Christopher West, said it’s amazing to see the ship finally arrive in the museum’s dry dock, but there...
