About the Tour: Cleveland has a Great Lakes shipping history that took off after the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1957. The Harbor as we know it today was dug out of landfill in 1986-87. Since 1988, it has become the Lakefront, with the focal points of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Great Lakes Science Center, the Mather Steamship+, and First Energy Stadium. Even larger scale development is proposed for the future.
